FE - Frame and truss - Statics - Engineering mechanics

1. Axial member and axial force.

2. Trusses.

    Wood truss is the most popular structure in residential houses in America. Metal truss is used in school, business center, and stores.

3. Zero force member.

    Member does not have any force running through it. If it is removed from structure, the analysis results on the rest members will not be changed.

4. Method of joints.

5. Method of sections.

6. Superposition of loads.

7. Transverse truss.

8. Two dimensional mechanics.

9. Three dimensional equilibrium.

FE - Force system - Statics - Engineering mechanics

1. Internal and external forces.

2. Concentrated forces and distributed forces.

3. Moments and components of moment.

4. Moment about a point and a line.

5. Couples.
    When two forces are in the same plane, if they are not in the same line, if they are parallel, and if they point to opposite directions, they are a force couple.

6. Equivalence of force and couple system.
