Course Description

Vector mechanics, covering force diagrams, moment of forces and couples, two- and three-dimensional force systems, analysis of engineering structures at equilibrium (e.g. trusses and beams), distributed force, centroids and center of gravity, shear and bending moment diagrams, friction, are and mass moments of inertia. PREREQUISITE: MATH A185 or MATH A185H or MATH A182H; and PHYS A185 or PHYS A185H. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC. C-ID: ENGR 130.C-ID: ENGR 130.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Develop analysis methods to examine force systems acting on an engineering structure in static equilibrium.
2. Evaluate the constraining reactions needed to maintain static equilibrium on two- and three-dimensional rigid bodies acted on by the force systems.
3. Analyze the internal distribution of bending-moments and shear-forces acting on members of a beam or structure.

Course Objectives

• 1. Determine the resultant of a two- and three-dimensional force system applied to a rigid body.
• 2. Use a free body diagram to evaluate the reaction forces at the rigid body constraints, which are being used to maintain equilibrium.
• 3. Perform vector analysis methods addressing forces acting on rigid bodies, trusses, frames, and machines.
• 4. Determine internal forces in individual members of trusses, frames, and machines.
• 5. Locate the centroid and center of gravity of regularly shaped lines, areas, and volumes.
• 6. Determine external and internal force reactions on beams.
• 7. Draw shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for beams.
• 8. Determine friction forces in simple shapes.
• 9. Evaluate area and mass moments of inertia.
