COURSE The relationship between stress and strain on deformable solids. Applies
DESCRIPTION analysis to members subjected to axial, bending, and torsional loads.
Covers combined stresses, statically indeterminate systems, and properties
of structural materials.
COURSE To provide basic knowledge in mechanics of materials so that the students
OBJECTIVES can solve real engineering problems and design engineering systems.
