Lecture

Structures and Mechanisms: Static (Rigid) Structures

Description

This lecture covers the analysis of static (rigid) structures, focusing on equilibrium, free-body diagrams, and different types of joints. It also discusses isostatic, statically determinate, and hyperstatic systems, with examples of truss structures. The instructor explains the strategy to solve problems with structures, including drawing free-body diagrams and determining support reactions. The lecture concludes with the computation of forces and moments in structures, emphasizing the principle of action-reaction and the segmentation of structures into members.
