Simple stress and strain. Equilibrium, compatibility and constitutive relations. State of stress and state of strain with emphasis on two dimensional problems. Bending and shear stresses. Deflection of beams. Torsion of circular shafts. Combined stresses. Buckling of columns.
Course Objectives
Mechanics is the physical science that deals with the effects of forces on objects. Mechanics can be divided into three main branches: rigid-body mechanics, deformable-body mechanics, and fluid mechanics. This course is an introductory level course on deformable-body mechanics.The objective of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts and principles employed by engineers - whether civil, mechanical, aeronautical, etc. - in the design of structures of all sorts, sizes and purpose.
