    Objectives:
    The lecture presents the basic principles for the evaluation of static systems in engineering. Starting with a physical definition of force, different equilibrium systems are analyzed. This includes plane as well as three dimensional force groups acting on a point or on a rigid boby. Another point of main emphasis is the evaluation of internal forces and moments in plane and three dimensional structures. This includes the analysis of frames and trusses. In addition to the equilibrium axiom the principle of virtual work in the context of analytical statics is introduced. In weekly exercises the students learn to apply the principles to concrete technical problems.
    Table of Contents:
  • Plane forces: equilibrium axiom, graphical solution, free body diagram, moment of a force, plane force groups on a rigid body, multiple part systems, statical determination
  • Three dimensional force groups
  • Internal forces and moments: distributed loads at beams and frames, structures with three dimensional load

    CYCLE BASES OF GRAPHS AND APPLICATIONS IN STRUCTURAL MECHANICS A. Kaveh AND G.R. Roosta Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran-16, Iran Building and Housing Research Center, Tehran-13, Iran Abstract- An efficient algorithm is presented for the formation of cycle bases of graphs corresponding to sparse cycle-member incidence matrices, leading to the formation of highly sparse flexibility matrices. The algorithm presented employs a new expansion process and uses an efficient graph-theoretical method for controlling the independence of the selected cycles. Some applications of cycle bases in structural mechanics are discussed. Keywords- Force method, flexibility matrices, statical bases, sparsity, graph theory, optimization, non-linear analysis

    • Course Overview This course is a continuation of Structural Mechanics course unit e201. The objectives are to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of engineering structural behaviour and its analysis using both elastic and plastic mathematical models. Elastic modelling will include: 2-dimensional elasticity; non-standard problems of bending and torsion; thin-walled sections; behaviour of framed structures under working loads; and the nonlinear behaviour and stability of structural columns. The concepts and theorems of plasticity will be introduced and their use in predicting the collapse behaviour of ductile framed structures will be developed.

    The central and essential ceremonies of the ha~j or greater pilgrimage are those of the day of Arafa, the 9th of the’ pilgrimage month “ (Dhu’l Ilijja), the last of the Arab year; and every Moslem who is hrs own master, and can command the necessary means, is bound to join in these once in his life, or to have them fulfilled by a substitute 1 The latter perhaps was no part of the ancient omra; see SnouckHurgronje, Het Mekkaansdhe Feest (1880) p. 115 sqq. 2 The 27th was also a great day, but this day was in commemora~ tion of the rebuilding of the Ka’ba by Ibn Jubair. The statistics of the pilgrimage cannot be given with certainty and vary much from year to year. The quarantine office keeps a record of arrivals by sea at Jidda (66,000 for 1904); but to these must be added those travelling by land from Cairo, Damascus The sacrifice is not indispensable except for those who can afford it and are combining the hajj with the omra. On the similar pelting of the supposed graves of Abü LahaL and his wife (Ibn Jubair, p. 110) and of Abu Righal at Mughammas see Nöldeke’s translation of Tabari, p. 208. and Irak, the pilgrims who reach Medina from Yanbu and go on to Mecca, and those from all parts of the peninsula. Burckhardt in 1814 estimated the crowd at Arafa at 70,000, Burton in 1853 at 50,000, ‘Abd el-Razzgk in 1858 at 60,000. This great assemblage is always a dangerous centre of infection, and the days of Mina especially, spent under circumstances originally adapted only for a Bedouin fair, with no provisions for proper cleanliness, and with the air full of the smell of putrefying offal and flesh drying in the sun, produce much sickness.
