Chapter I Principles of Statics Flashcards
memorize definitions (17 cards)
defined as the science which considers the effects of forces on rigid bodies.
Engineering Mechanics
Two Parts of Engineering Mechanics
Statics and Dynamics
In here we consider the effevts and distribution of forces on rigid bodies which are and remain at rest.
Statics
In here we consider the motion of rigid bodies caused by the forces acting upon them.
Dynamics
Force Systems of Statics
Concurrent
Parallel
Non-concurrent
Applications of Statics
Trusses, Centroids, Friction
Parts of Dynamics
Kinematics and Kinetics
What are under Kinematics
Translation, Rotation, Plane Motion
What are under Kinetics
Translation, Rotation, Plane Motion
Deals with the pure motion of rigid bodies
Kinematics
relates the motion to the forces
Kinematics
A definite amount of matter the part of which are fixed in position relative to each other.
Rigid Body
May be defined as that which changes, or tends to change, the state of motion of a body.
Force (external effect)
To produce stress and deformation in the body on which the force acts.
Force (internal effect)
External effects of forces is considered in
Engineering mechanics
internal effects of forces is considered in
strength of materials
What are the characteristics of a force
- magnitude
- the position of its line of action
- the direction (or sense) in which the force acts along its line of action
