Work and the lowest score for a Quiz will be dropped when determining your final average There are no make up work quizzes unless excused absence Concerns or mistakes that may have been made in grading quizzes or exams must be addressed in writing within a week of when the item is returned This class will be part lecture and part recitation where students work on problems There will be required reading or video lectures and online reading quizzes that must be done 30 minutes prior to the start of class The Americans with Disabilities Act ADA is a federal anti discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities Among other things this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation please contact Disability Services currently located in the Disability Services building at the Student Services at White Creek complex on west campus or call 979 845 1637 For additional information visit http disability tamu edu Course Learning Outcomes At the end of this course students should be able to 1 Identify isolate and idealize the system of interest for the application process a Decide whether the system is to be thought of as a particle collection of particles or rigid body b Draw a free body diagram of the system showing external forces and moments 2 Identify the nature of the connections between bodies and create an idealized representation for it a Recognize support conditions for idealized connections such as a pin hinge roller etc b Handle non ideal connections and empirical laws 3 Convert the task from the real world into a symbolic representation 4 Develop equilibrium relationships for non accelerating particles acted on by forces 5 Develop equilibrium relationships for non accelerating two or three dimensional rigid bodies a Calculate the direct resultant forces and rotational resultant moments effects of external stimuli on a rigid body 6 Identify the need for additional empirical laws such as Hooke s Law and Coulomb Friction to complete the system of equations 7 Estimate external loads and find the internal forces in frames trusses beams and other structures while evaluating their structural safety a Analyze systems of interconnected rigid bodies b Find the forces generated by the constraints c Find internal shear and bending moments for beams d Analyze systems with non ideal constraints under the action of dry friction 8 Obtain system information position velocity etc at a given location or time knowing the system information at a different location or time a Use Newton s Laws to describe the motion of the system b Choose a suitable coordinate system to work in such as Cartesian polar or path coordinates c Express the position velocity and acceleration in the chosen coordinates 9 Find the loads and accelerations for rigid bodies under planar motion a Calculate centroids and moments of inertia of bodies b Calculate the effect of forces and motion of a rigid body undergoing translation and rotation Contribution of course to requirements of ABET Criterion 5 Subject Semester hrs Subject Semester hrs Mathematics Engineering Science 3 Basic Science Engineering Design Subject General
