PHY 522 - Engineering Mechanics Study of statics of rigid bodies with applications to structural and load analysis. Topics include: equilibrium of extended bodies, centroids, friction, and the analysis of trusses, frames, beams, towers and cables with a focus on engineering applications to renewable energy systems. Not open to students with credit for PHY 422. Prerequisites: PHY 201 and MAT 122 or MAT 237. (3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code C = offered at least once every two years
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Recall and apply the core principles of engineering mechanics, with particular focus on statics.
- Recall and apply the mathematical methods of solution in applied mechanics.
- Apply the developed understanding in an experimental project to determine the major differences between theory and the effects of the real world.
