Study strength of materials, the foundational mechanical engineering subject. Learn how to analyze and predict deformation and failure in structures made of elastic, elastic-plastic and viscoelastic materials.

Syllabus

  • Use Free Body Diagrams to formulate equilibrium equations in structural assemblages.
  • Identify geometric constraints to formulate compatibility equations in structural assemblages.
  • Understand the formulation of thermo-elastic, elastic-perfectly-plastic and linear viscoelastic models for the material response.
  • Analyze and predict the mechanical behavior of statically determinate and statically indeterminate assemblages with deformable bars in axial loading.
