This article deals with the basic concepts of solid mechanics, particularly in relation to forces and elements of statics. It defines important terms such as forces, moments and static moments, as ...

This module aims to provide students with the ability to derive, from first principles, mathematical descriptions of mechanics applications and to use these descriptions to solve a wide range of ...

Example 2.C.1 (Note: The values of P and F_2 given in the lecture book should be switched for this problem. The solution here is in terms of variables, not numbers, and is correct.) ...

Abstract: This article presents a segment-progress statics method for configuration prediction or force sensing of concentric cable-driven manipulators. First, the statics model of the whole system ...
