	Objectives
	AQUIRE A FEELING FOR STRUCTURAL EQUILIBRIUM AND SKILLS IN THE USE OF VECTOR ALGEBRA AND ANALYSIS, AND GRAPHICAL METHODS, TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF MECHANICS.

	Prerequisites
	REAL ANALYSIS AND HAND-DRAWING SKILLS

	Contents
	VECTOR ALGEBRA (OPERATIONS ON ARROWS) MASS GEOMETRY GRAPHICAL STATICS ELEMENTARY DYNAMICS OF 1D ELASTIC SYSTEMS OF 1, 2, N, INFINITE MASSES. RIGID BODY DYNAMICS EQUILIBRIUM OF CORDS BEAM EQUILIBRIUM, INTERNAL FORCES AND MOMENTS, CONSTRAINTS. ELEMENTARY STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF ASSEMBLIES OF RIGID BODIES

	Teaching Methods
	LECTURES. EXERCISE SOLVING AT THE BLACKBOARD. HOMEWORK: 4 SERIES OF 4 EXERCISES, DUE DURING THE COURSE, BEFORE THE FINAL EXAM.

	Verification of learning
	INDIVIDUAL CORRECTION OF THE EXERCISES; FINAL ORAL EXAM. TO FULFILL THE MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE TO KNOW WHAT IS A STRUCTURE AND THE FORCES THAT IT CAN TRANSMIT AND MUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE THE BASIC TOOLS OF STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMICAL ANALYSIS. NO MNEMONIC EFFORT IS REQUIRED.

	Texts
	STATICA (E CENNI DI DINAMICA), M. ANGELILLO, CUES.

	More Information
	THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE PARALLEL COURSE OF RATIONAL MECHANICS. THE COMPREHENSION OF THE CONCEPTS IS HELPED BY A MASSIVE USE OF GRAPHICAL METHODS. PREREQUISITES MATH: MANY STUDENTS TAKE MATH 1 CONCURRENTLY WITH THIS COURSE, BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU ARE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH SINGLE-VARIABLE INTEGRATION AND DIFFERENTIATION. MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS (MATH 2) IS NOT USED IN THIS COURSE, ALTHOUGH VECTORS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY. PHYSICS: A PREVIOUS PHYSICS COURSE IS CERTAINLY HELPFUL. TEXTBOOKS THERE IS A TEXTBOOK THAT YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO ACQUIRE : STATICA, BY ANGELILLO, CUES 2014. OTHER BOOKS THAT YOU CAN FALL BACK ON IF YOU NEED A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK: STATICS, BY HIBBELER, PEARSON 2009, FORM AND FORCES: DESIGNING EFFICIENT, EXPRESSIVE STRUCTURES, BY E. ALLEN, WILEY 2009, STATICS AND DYNAMICS, BY WARNER, BELMONT 1964 PROBLEM SETS (HOMEWORK) THERE WILL BE ONE PROBLEM SET EACH TWO WEEK, DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF THURSDAY'S CLASS. SOLUTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE DURING THE SECTIONS (SEE BELOW). NEW PROBLEM SETS WILL BE POSTED ON THE WEB ON THURSDAY EVENINGS. TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT FOR A PROBLEM, IT MUST NOT ONLY BE CORRECT, IT MUST ALSO BE WRITTEN UP NEATLY, WITH CLEAR EXPLANATIONS INVOLVING WORDS. SECTIONS IN SECTIONS THE INSTRUCTOR MEETS SMALL GROUPS OF STUDENTS TO CHECK THE SOLUTIONS OF THE HOMEWORK. SECTIONS MEET ONCE EACH TWO WEEKS ON APPOINTMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THE SECTIONS IS TO WORK THROUGH, TOGETHER, THE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS, TO SEE THE SOLUTIONS, AND TO DISCUSS THINGS IN A SMALLER CLASSROOM SETTING. THE TIMES WILL BE ARRANGED TOGETHER. ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED. BUT ASIDE FROM BEING REQUIRED, IT IS SIMPLY A GOOD IDEA TO ATTEND AND TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER. WEBPAGE THERE IS A LINK FROM THE ONLINE COURSE CATALOG. PROBLEM SETS, SOLUTIONS, LECTURE NOTES, LECTURE VIDEOS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, MATERIAL FROM LAST FALL, OLD EXAMS, AND OTHER USEFUL THINGS WILL BE POSTED ON THE WEBPAGE. IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL, SO PLEASE MAKE GOOD USE OF IT! YOU MAY NEED TO LOG IN TO SEE SOME OF THE PAGES. STUDY GROUPS YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO WORK TOGETHER ON PROBLEM SETS, AND GROUPS OF 3-4 STUDENTS ARE FORMED FORMALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE, BUT THE WORK THAT YOU HAND IN MUST BE YOUR OWN. BE CAREFUL NOT TO RELY TOO MUCH ON YOUR CLASSMATES, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS FOR THE EXAMS, OF COURSE. EXAMS THERE WILL BE A FINAL ORAL EXAM IN JUNE/JULY/SEPTEMBER AND OTHER SESSIONS IN JANUARY/FEBRUARY, BUT THE HOMEWORK IS AN IMPORTANT, AND ACTUALLY NECESSARY, PART IN THE FINAL EVALUATION. STUDYING FOR EXAMS THERE IS A COSPICUOUS NUMBER OF OLD MIDTERMS AND FINALS POSTED ON THE COURSE WEBPAGE. IF YOU REVIEW THE PROBLEM SETS CAREFULLY AND WORK THROUGH A GOOD NUMBER OF OLD EXAMS, YOU SHOULD DO WELL. BUT CONVERSELY, IF YOU RELY TOO MUCH ON FRIENDS AND DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM SETS, AND IF YOU DON'T WORK THROUGH MANY OLD EXAMS, THINGS MOST LIKELY WON'T GO SO WELL.
