Course Description

Mechanics of Materials (A) is divided into two independent courses named Mechanics of Materials (A) I and Mechanics of Materials (A) II. The main topics in course # I include introduction, tension and compression of bars, torsion of shafts, bending of beams, stress and strain analysis, strength theory. While in course # II, the main topics covers composite deformation, energy method, statically indeterminate structure, dynamic load, alternative stress, stability of columns, curved bar, and thick-walled cylinders and rotational round plates. The purpose of the two courses is to develop and provide the students with the theory of the fundamental principles of mechanics of materials. Students will learn all the tools to analyze beams, columns, frames for normal, shear and torsion stresses and to solve deflection problems in preparation for design of such structural components. Through this course, students should possess the ability to analyze and solve problems in engineering bearing structures based on the concept of strength, stiffness and stability of structural members and materials behavior. This course also serves as a pre-requisite for advanced courses of solid mechanics.
