511. Theoretical Mechanics.
Fundamental principles of dynamics and the Newtonian laws of motion.
Statics of the material particle, of plane laminæ, of rigid bodies, and of elastic
solids; centres of gravity; equilibrium of rigid bodies and of material systems.
Dynamics of the particle; uniform and uniformly varied motion; harmonic
motion; meteoric motion; pendulum motion. Dynamics of the rigid body;
moments of inertia; rotating and revolving solids; laws of work and energy;
impact and collision. (Fall.)
512. Strength of Materials.
Fundamental laws of stress and strain in elastic solids. Strength and
elasticity of rods, beams, and shafts. Reinforced concrete slabs and girders.
Deflection of simple and restrained beams, and of continuous girders. Strength
of columns under both axial and eccentric loads. Strength of ties and struts
under lateral loads. (Winter.)
513. Hydrostatics and Hydraulics.
Fundamental laws of fluid equilibrium. Application to the analysis of
water tanks, boiler shells, thick pipes, reservoir dams, and weirs. Principles of
the motion of fluids; application to efflux from orifices and weir notches, flow in
pipes and canals, and gauge measurements of canals and rivers. Principles of
linear and angular momentum; applications to the analysis and design of
turbines and pumps. (Spring.)
