Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, students should be able to:

[1]  Construct free body diagram for strength of materials problems.

[2]  Define and analyze the shear stress, strain and bending based on the models of strength of materials.

Synopsis

Strength of material is a part of physics known as mechanics. The course covers on the concepts of stress and strain, stress strain relationship, axial stress and deformation, stress concentrations, safety factor, torsional stress and deformation, beam stresses, combined stress.
