Course aims:

To know the force systems, the operations with these systems and the equilibrium conditions of the material systems under the action of the force systems.
Accumulation of knowledge from Mechanics (Statics) regarding vector and scalar operations with force systems that model the loads that act on the structures of constructions.
Knowledge of the mass centers of material systems generally modeled as material point systems or material continuum: composite sections, volumes, bodies. To have knowledge regarding the balance of free and subject material systems. Types of connections. Strong connection. Balance configurations.
- To know how to operate with force - It is known to determine the reduction torque of a system of forces at some point and the minimum torque. -To know how to determine the torsion of reduction of a system of particular forces: concurrent, coplanar, parallel, distributed parallel, at one point
To know the operations of reducing force systems. Determine the center of gravity for a flat surface. Determine the equilibrium equations for bodies and systems of bodies.

Teaching methods:

Lecture, discussions, examples.

Learning outcomes:

Mechanics being a fundamental discipline, the content of the discipline is necessary for the study of other disciplines such as the resistance of materials, the static of the constructions, disciplines that form the basis of the specialized disciplines necessary for the graduates in the field of design and execution.

Learning outcomes verification and assessment criteria:

Solving two theory topics Solving 2 applications
