The presentation of key issues in the science of Mechanics and consolidating key concepts in Strength of Materials as are necessary in the Engineer of today. 

Description of the Course

Center of gravity and surfacemoments of inertia. Vector calculus (forces, torques). Beams (diagrams [N], [Q], [M]).Lattices.Basic concepts of material strength.Axial tensile and compressive strength.Shear stress. General plane stress condition. Thin-wall and thick-wall pressure vessels. Bending. Deflection line. Torsion.Buckling. Dual & asymmetric bending. Eccentric tensile. Complex stress. Engineering properties and failure criteria of materials. Energy methods. 

Expected Course Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to: 

• To perform basic calculations of forces and moments in simple structural systems
• to apply the basic principles of Strength of Materials to compute elementary mechanical structures
