ENGR 211 Statics and Introduction to Engineering Mechanics

Fundamental concepts of statics including equivalent force systems; equilibrium of rigid bodies; internal forces in trusses, frames, and machines; relationship of internal forces to stress and strain; impact of geometry and material properties on static failure modes. Axial loading and torsion. Students will explore and apply these concepts in the context of iterative design, analysis, and experimental testing in the associated Design Studio.
