ENGR 2020U – Statics and Dynamics

This course provides fundamental engineering knowledge of static and dynamic force/moment equilibrium and time varying performance of different systems. It also examines the work, energy, impact, force, and kinematics and dynamics of systems of particles and rigid bodies. The course description consists of: resultant and equilibrium of force systems; distributed loads; hydrostatics; conditions of equilibrium and application to particles and rigid bodies; analysis of statically determinate structures including beams, trusses and arches; friction; centric; principle of virtual work; Cartesian, normal-tangential, and polar components of velocity and acceleration in two and three dimensions; rotating frames; kinematics of particles and rigid bodies; force/acceleration; work/energy; impulse/momentum; conservative and non-conservative systems; systems of streams of particles and rigid bodies; introduction to three dimensional problems of particles and rigid body dynamics.
