TEXT: “Statics and Mechanics of Materials” by R.C. Hibbeler, 4th Edition, Prentice Hall, 2013.

PREREQUISITES: Physics 131 or 1250, Engineering 183 or 187 or 1182 or 1187 or H192 or 1282H, and Math 254 or
1152 or 1172 or 2162. Not open to students with credit for ME 420 or 2020.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
 A thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of vector mechanics of bodies at rest (vectors, force, couple,
moment, Newton’s laws, free body diagram, and equilibrium analysis)
 Ability to determine reactions at the external supports of bodies in equilibrium
 Ability to analyze common engineering structures such as trusses , frames, and machines
 Ability to determine geometric and inertial properties of solid bodies
 Ability to use internal forces to model normal and shear stress distributions in frame and machine components under
various loadings including pure shear, axial, torsion, and bending loadings
 Ability to relate stresses to strains and use published experimentally determined material properties such as Young’s
modulus and Poisson’s ratio
 Ability to analyze displacement or deflection, and use constraints on deformation quantities to calculate forces on bodies
in a statically indeterminate manner
 Ability to transform stresses and strains between differently oriented coordinate systems
 Ability to size structural elements and determine allowable loads on components based on consideration of critical values
of stress and factors of safety
 Develop a systematic approach to solving problems, including careful sketching, precise mathematical notation, clear
presentation, and computer generated plotting of results

DAILY ASSIGNMENTS: The assignments for the semester are listed on page 3. The material assigned for each day,
reading and problems, is to be studied before coming to class on the given day. It is your responsibility to ultimately have a
full understanding of all these problems, regardless of whether or not they are worked in class.

HOMEWORK AND QUIZZES: Short quizzes will be given on current or recent assignments at the discretion of the
instructor. No make-up quizzes will be given. In case of extended absence due to illness, see your instructor. Homework will
be submitted via CARMEN. Solutions for all homework problems will be posted on the class web site

MIDTERMS AND FINAL EXAM: All exams will be closed-book/closed-notes. No make -up exams will be given. In the
event of absence due to illness, inform your instructor at once and be prepared to provide written documentation to verify
your condition.

PRESENTATION OF WRITTEN WORK: All solutions must be neat and orderly, with all principles presented clearly.
Free-body diagrams must be neatly drawn. Good problem layout is essential to communicate your full understanding of a
topic to the instructor. Work not meeting minimum requirements for neatness may result in loss of credit.

OUR EXPECTATIONS:
 Make use of every possible opportunity to ask questions you have regarding course material. It is much better to ask
questions as they arise rather than waiting until you have fallen behind.

1
  Spend a minimum of two hours studying outside of class for every hour you spend in class.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT: Although working and studying in groups is encouraged, all work that is submitted for
grading must be your own. After discussing a problem, you should write the solution on your own. Your solution must be
original. Situations which call into question the originality of the work will be submitted to the Committee on
Academic Misconduct.

GRADES: The course grade will be determined as follows:

Exam I 20 %
Exam II 25 %
Final Exam 35 %
Homework and Quizzes 20 %

FINAL EXAM: June 29, 1:30 to 3:30 PM
