Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, a student will be able to
1.use plane stress transformation to find principal stress states
2. understand the principle of virtual work
3. understand small-strain elastic-plastic deformation;
4. understand failure modes for materials;
5. develop an awareness of mechanics to provides base for further study and specialization within solid mechanics, including continuum mechanics; computational mechanics (e.g., finite-element methods).
