Problems
- Engineers and others need to understand how loads act on structures, how structures carry those loads, and how they respond.
Stakes
- Products can fail when loads are not properly understood or analyzed.
- Loads matter in a wide range of contexts: your knee joint, a computer keyboard, a bridge, a car, or an airplane.
- If you understand loads, you can design airplanes that fly, ships that stay upright, vehicles that withstand wind, and so on.
- Learning Statics lays the foundation for many advanced engineering courses and real-world applications.
Solution
By learning the fundamentals of Statics, you’ll be equipped to solve real-world problems involving loads. You’ll be able to estimate, design, model, calculate, and experiment — skills that are valuable in both study and practice.
Goals
The job of this BookCourse is to equip you to reach the following goals:
- Apply Statics to do useful things — estimate, make decisions, build models, do calculations, and more.
- Effectively solve more than 80% of the typical problems found in a Statics textbook.
- Know the main ideas of Statics well enough to explain them, apply them, remember them, and teach them.
