Course outline:
This course aims to develop an understanding of the mechanics of solids. Topics include: statically determinate force systems, free body diagrams; Stress-strain relations, elastic constants; statically determinate stress systems, direct stress, shear stress, bending stress, torsional stress; bending moment diagrams, shear force diagrams, deflection of beams; torsion, and struts. Stress and strain transformations, compound stress in 2 dimensions, and Mohr's circle are also covered.
