CF2100 - Mechanics of Solids: Statics

This is a core engineering course in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of problem solving using engineering analysis.  This first course in Solid Mechanics deals with Newton’s First Law where forces are in equilibrium.  Solutions to the problems presented involve drawing free body diagrams, resolving force vectors into components, and solving equations to find reactions.  The concept of internal stress is introduced and related to bending moments, simple shear and torsional shear. The lecture portion of the class will consist of the introduction of the engineering problem solving process, the conceptual material and interactive demonstrations of the engineering concepts.  The lab portion will provide an opportunity to engage students in experimental methods and comparison of experimental data with theoretical values.

Prerequisite(s): PH1101, MA1101
