BMEE 6420 Engineering Mechanics I: Statics, Solids, and Dynamics
This course provides an introduction to (1) statics including the study of forces, moments, friction, centers of mass, gravity, and pressure using the equations of equilibrium in vector algebraic and calculus forms; (2) dynamics including kinematics, dynamics, work-energy and impulse-momentum methods applied to engineering problems involving particles and rigid bodies; and (3) mechanics of solids including internal forces and deformation in solids, concepts of stress and strain, formulas for stress and deflection for elastic bars, shafts, and beams, stress and strain transformation and theories of failure.
Prerequisite
