Course Objectives

The purpose of this course is; to introduce students to the concepts of statics, which are the foundation of mechanics, to teach the fundamental principles related to the equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, and to equip them with the competence to analyze external loads and internal forces in isostatic (statically determinate) carrier systems using these principles.

Course Content

The course content covers; fundamental concepts and principles of mechanics, vectors, force systems, equilibrium of material points (particles) and rigid bodies in plane and space. The principles of free body diagrams used in solving engineering problems, calculation of center of gravity and moments of inertia of geometric shapes are examined. Additionally, the analysis of isostatic structural systems such as truss systems, frames, and cables, and the determination of support reactions and internal forces in these systems are detailed.
