Homework deadline lesson Wednesday September 11th

As a preparation for Wednesday’s lesson you’ll look into basic statics externally, consisting of the following topics:

• Model
  • Elements
  • Coordinate system
  • Loads
  • Section forces
  • Supports
  • Hinges
  • Free body diagrams
  • Structures
• Resolution of forces
• Solve equilibrium
  • … of a planar particle
  • … of a 3D-particle
  • … of a body
  • … of a 3D-body
• Solve support reactions for statically determinate structures
  • … using equilibrium
• Solve section forces truss structure
  • … with zero-force members
  • … using equilibrium in a specific cross-section
• Solve section forces frame structures
  • … using equilibrium in a specific cross-section

Please go through the topics which you can improve your skills on. Take at least a look at the examples and try a few exercises. During the lesson you’ll make some advanced exercises.
