Introduction

Welcome to the course and review of fundamental concepts - internal and external forces, equilibrium conditions for rigid bodies, use of free-body diagrams, etc.

2
2D Reactions

Determining force and moment reactions at contacts, connections and supports for a rigid body under the action of co-planar forces - in order to produce its free-body diagram.

3
2D Equilibrium Equations (1)

General analysis of equilibrium of rigid bodies in two dimensions.

4
2D Equilibrium Equations (2)

Analysis of special cases of equilibrium of rigid bodies in two dimensions - equilibrium under the action of only two or three forces.

5
2D Constraints and Statical Determinacy

Different conditions of constraints on rigid bodies in two dimensions and their statical determinacy.

6
3D Reactions

Determining force and moment reactions at contacts, connections and supports for a rigid body under the action of three-dimensional forces - in order to produce its free-body diagram.

7
3D Equilibrium Equations

Analysis of equilibrium of rigid bodies in three dimensions.

8
3D Constraints and Statical Determinacy

Different conditions of constraints on rigid bodies in three dimensions and their statical determinacy.
