Statics

General principles, fundamental quantities of mechanics. Forces and their characteristics, Moments, Force systems – 2D, 3D, equilibration, congruence. Centre of mass, centre of gravity – lines, areas, volumes. Equilibrium of rigid body, the main form of links – in area and space. System of volumes. Principle of free body diagrams. Internal forces in structural members. Trusses – methods of solution. Friction, characteristic of coulomb friction, analysis of systems involving friction. Stability- the main definition. The basic form of analytical statics.
