MECHANICS MATERIALS

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to provide the students with a clear and thorough knowledge of mechanics of materials that will provide the engineer with the means of analyzing and designing various machines and load bearing structures. Students will learn the following terms: simple stress and strain, equilibrium, axial forces and their effect on prismatic members, compatibility and constitutive relations, state of stress and state of strain with emphasis on two-dimensional problems, bending and shear stresses for prismatic members, deflection of beams, torsion of circular shafts, combined stresses, buckling of columns. At the end of the course, students will be able to analyze and design simple beams and columns.
