Mechanics is the branch of physics that adresses the effects of forces and moments on material bodys.
In Stereostatics, the bodies loaded by forces or moments are considered as RIGID, i.e. they do not change their shape under the effects of forces or moments.

Content

  • Fundamentals of Vector Algebra
  • Fundamental Ideas - Material Point/Body and Force
  • Central and General Systems of Forces
  • Center of Gravity
  • Examination of Geometric Instabilities
  • Bearing Forces and Internal Forces
  • Plane Framework
  • Friction
  • Statics of Ropes
  • The Principle of Virtual Work
 

Additional Information

How does the event work?

While the focus of the plenary lecture is on imparting theoretical content, the latter are used in the plenary exercises to solve engineering problems. The plenary exercises are offered in German and English language.

The examination of the module is taken in electronic form on the computer. It is offered on
several dates during the semester vacation. The grade of an examination that has already been
passed can be improved by increasing the total number of points by a maximum of 6 bonus
points, which can be earned in bonus point tests during the semester.
