Course Objectives To provide the concept of stresses and strains in structural components subjected to tension, compression, torsion, and bending. To develop students’ ability to analyze problems based on the understanding of its basic concepts of mechanics of materials.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will be able to calculate stress and deformation in members under axial load and torsion.
  • Students will be able to use the principles of equilibrium of forces and moments to calculate stress in members under bending.
  • Students will be able to calculate deformations in beams under bending.
Course Content Analysis of stress and strain, equations of equilibrium and compatibility, stress-strain laws, torsion of bars, simple bending of beams, shearing stresses in beams, deflection of beams, combined stresses due to bending, torsion, shear and axial load, Mohr`s circle, statically indeterminate beams.
