|
Associated Term:
Fall 2024
Learning Objectives: • Applications of the equations of static equilibrium • Plane trusses • Space trusses and shear force and bending moment diagrams • Cable support systems • Coulomb friction and belt friction Required Materials: While no specific textbook is required, the course is designed to be compatible with any basic engineering statics textbook. You will find it useful in learning the material to acquire a basic engineering mechanics (statics) textbook to use as a reference and for completing additional practice problems. I would like to acknowledge two of my faculty colleagues at Georgia Tech, Drs. David McGill and Wilton King, who have supported my Coursera course efforts by allowing me to use figures and examples from their textbook in my preparation of this course. We use this textbook at Georgia Tech for our Statics course. While not required, if you are interested in purchasing this textbook, you may go to this link for our Barnes and Noble store at Georgia Tech: Engineering Mechanics: Statics - Barnes and Noble store at Georgia Tech This textbook is also available through Amazon at: Engineering Mechanics: Statics - Amazon In addition, I’ve been made aware of a textbook that is available online. The authors, Drs. Andy Ruina and Rudra Pratap, have given me permission to post the link to this textbook. Please understand that the authors retain all rights to this textbook. Introduction to Statics and Dynamics - Online Version Please also note that Dr. Ruina requests that he would like feedback from any and all about how to improve this Ruina/Pratap book, or of any issues anyone has with it. Dr. Ruina’s email is ruina@cornell.edu Technical Requirements: |
