After successful completion of the course, students are able to analyze statically determinate beams, frames and truss constructions by means of practice-oriented problem formulations and computational methods.
Moments of a Plane Area and their Rules of Transformation. Statics: Forces, Systems of Forces, Equilibrium, Statics of Simple Structures (Beams, Frames, Trusses). Mechanical Work, Power, Potential Energy. Principle of Virtual Work. Conservative Mechanical Systems.
Lectures including many numerical example problems.
