Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce advanced topics in mechanics of deformable solids through “strength of materials” approach. This approach will be employed to analyze deformable bodies and teach the students how to apply this knowledge in the solution of engineering problems. This course also provides the student with a background in the classical theory of elasticity.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems involving mechanics of deformable solids.
  • Understand the basic assumptions and equations of strength of materials.
  • Attain necessary knowledge of the different failure theories used to predict failure of elastic isotropic materials.
  • Understand the basics of energy methods used in solid mechanics.
  • Understand the plastic deformations in basic structural members.
Course Content Analysis of stress and strain, principle stresses and strains, generalized Hooke?s law, strain energy, yield and failure criteria, plane strain and plane stress problems, airy stress function, unsymmetrical bending of beams and shear center, torsion of noncircular cross sections, Prandtl?s membrane analogy, energy methods, plastic deformation and r
