Credit Structure: (3-0)3

Catalog Description:
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:
To enlarge on the student's knowledge of statics by introducing the mechanics of deformable bodies, so as to lead the student to the methods of structural analysis.
