ME13A: ENGINEERING STATICS COURSE INTRODUCTION Details of Lecturer Course Lecturer: Dr. E.I. Ekwue Room Number: 216 Main Block, Faculty of Engineering Email: ekwue@eng.uwi.tt , Tel. No. : 662 2002 Extension 3171 Office Hours: 9 a.m. to 12 Noon. (Tue, Wed and Friday) COURSE GOALS This course has two specific goals: (i) To introduce students to basic concepts of force, couples and moments in two and three dimensions. (ii) To develop analytical skills relevant to the areas mentioned in (i) above. COURSE OBJECTIVES Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: ? (i) Determine the resultant of coplanar and space force systems. (ii)?Determine the centroid and center of mass of plane areas and volumes. (iii)?Distinguish between concurrent, coplanar and space force systems (iv)?Draw free body diagrams. COURSE OBJECTIVES CONTD. (v)?Analyze the reactions and pin forces induces in coplanar and space systems using equilibrium equations and free body diagrams. (vi)?Determine friction forces and their influence upon the equilibrium of a system. (vii) Apply sound analytical techniques and logical procedures in the solution of engineering problems. ?????Course?Content (i)? Introduction, Forces in a plane, Forces in space (ii) Statics of Rigid bodies (iii) Equilibrium of Rigid bodies (2 and 3 dimensions) (iv) Centroids and Centres of gravity (v) Moments of inertia of areas and masses (vi) Analysis of structures (Trusses, Frames and Machines) (vii)?Forces in Beams (viii)Friction Teaching Strategies The course will be taught via Lectures and Tutorial Sessions, the tutorial being designed to complement and enhance both the lectures and the students appreciation of the subject. Course work assignments will be reviewed with the students. Course Textbook and Lecture Times Vector Mechanics For Engineers By F.P. Beer and E.R. Johnston (Third Metric Edition), McGraw-Hill. Lectures: Wednesday, 1.00 to 1.50 p.
