UTSGMechanics
The principles of statics are applied to composition and resolution of forces, moments and couples. The equilibrium states of structures are examined. Throughout, the free body diagram concept is emphasized. Vector algebra is used where it is most useful, and stress blocks are introduced. Shear force diagrams, bending moment diagrams and stress-strain relationships for materials are discussed. Stress and deformation in axially loaded members and flexural members (beams) are also covered.

The consensus among most students was that this was the toughest first year course. It's incredibly calculation heavy, with questions that appear straightforward but require multiple steps. Even a minor error can screw up your entire calculation. Work in a group for assignments.
