Course Goal / Objective
At the end of this course, the student will be able to: analyze the equilibrium conditions of rigid bodies, calculate the stresses and deformations occurring in machine parts under various loads, and apply safe design criteria.
Course Content
The Mechanics of Materials course combines the principles of statics and strength of materials, which form the foundation of engineering, to examine the behavior of structural elements under external forces. Within the scope of this course, static concepts such as the equilibrium conditions of rigid bodies, free-body diagrams, and support reactions are covered, alongside fundamental principles of strength of materials including stress, strain, bending, and torsion occurring in materials.
