Often referred to as the primary discipline within the field of Engineering Mechanics, statics explores the behavior of stationary bodies. [[w:Dynamics|Dynamics]] is the subsequent study of forces upon moving bodies.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Prerequisites==<br /> [[Image:Force elementaire.png|thumb|right|500px|A Force System]]<br /> ====[[Mathematics]]====<br /> * [[Algebra]]<br /> * [[Trigonometry]]<br /> <br /> ====[[Topic:Physics|Physics]]====<br /> * [[Introduction to physics]]<br /> * [[Topic:Classical_mechanics|Classical Mechanics]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Learning Materials==<br /> [[Image:ALoadedTruss.jpg|right|thumb|400px|A Free Body Diagram of a Loaded Truss]]<br /> ===Texts===<br /> * [[Wikibooks:Statics]]<br /> <br /> ===Statics Lessons===<br /> * '''[[Lesson:Always Draw a Freebody Diagram|Free Body Diagrams]]'''<br /> * '''[[Force Systems]]<br /> * '''[[Force Equilibrium]]<br /> * '''[[Structures]]<br /> * '''[[Distributed Forces]]<br /> * '''[[Friction]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Assignments==<br /> ===Preliminary Study guide=== <br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Statics|Statics]]<br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Force|Force]]<br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Particle|Particle]]<br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Rigid Body|Rigid Body]]<br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Vector|Vector]]<br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Newtons_laws|Newtons laws]]<br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Units_of_measurement|Units]]<br /> # Wikipedia article:[[w:Free_body_diagram|Free Body Diagram]]<br /> ===Readings===<br /> * Peruse the appropriate sections of [[Wikibooks:Statics]]<br /> ===Activities===<br /> * [http://engineering-education.com/CATS/intro.htm Pass the &quot;Concept Assesment Tool for Statics&quot; Test; Carnegie Mellon]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> Additional helpful readings include:<br /> * [http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-440Basic-Structural-TheorySpring2003/CourseHome/index.htm Basic Structural Theory; 2007, MIT]<br /> * Engineering Mechanics: Statics (4th Ed.); Meriam &amp; Kraige, 1997, Wiley New York<br /> * [http://www.math.hmc.edu/calculus/tutorials/vectoranalysis/Vector_Analysis Vector Analysis Tutorial]<br /> * [http://courses.cit.cornell.edu/arch264/text/struct-elem-scr-sp07rev04.pdf Structural Elements; 2007, Cornell]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Active participants==<br /> Please sign up!!<br /> Active participants in this [[Portal:Learning Projects#Learning Groups|Learning Group]]<br /> * - [[user:gustable|gustable]] - Chair of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Wikiversity<br /> <br /> [[Category:Applied Mechanics]]<br /> [[Category:Classical Mechanics]]<br /> [[Category:Engineering]]</div>
