GEN 6002G - Numerical Methods in Engineering

Credits: 4
The objective of this course is to understand the concepts and applications of Newton’s laws with respect to analysis of structures via problem formulation and solution. The areas of interest include 2 and 3 dimensional vector representation of forces, moments, and couples; static equilibrium of particles; rigid bodies and engineering structures; free body diagrams; and properties of cross-sectional areas, e.g. first and second moments of inertia.
