Course Description

This course is designed to give sophomore students the fundamental knowledge of mechanics of materials and to develop the ability to predict whether a member made of particular material will be able to withstand a particular load condition without excessive deformation and fracture. Emphasis is placed on concepts of equilibrium, compatibility of deformation and material behavior.
