2. Course description (max.150 words)
The subject of structural mechanics aims to study forces acting on bodies at rest. Time will be spent
finding free body diagrams as well as finding resultant forces for a variety of force systems and
structure. In addition, finding the reacting forces at the boundary conditions, due to forces acting on
bodies will be also derived. From the analysis of forces, the stresses present within the structure will
be analyzed. Students shall develop critical thinking skills to be able to develop an analysis that
leads to a suitable solution(s) to structural (statics) real life problems using force and stress analysis.
