Goals The objective is to enable the student to gain the ability to calculate stress and deformation in simple structural elements using the fundamental concepts of deformable body mechanics
Course Content Introduction, free-body diagram, concept of stress, concept of strain, stress-strain relationships, mechanical properties of materials, normal stress, torsion, and pure bending.
Learning Outcomes - To understand the fundamental concepts related to the strength of materials
- To determine the stress and deformations caused by normal force, shear force, bending moment, and torsional moment in the cross-section of a structural element
- To be able to design elements or structures that can safely withstand mechanical loads.
