Mechanics of Materials

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The aim of this course is to provide students with background necessary to: • Determine and analyze the various loads and stresses acting on various mechanical structures. • Determine the strains, deformations, slopes and deflections of mechanical structures. • Analyze the thermal stresses acting on different mechanical parts in addition to calculating stresses on thin and thick-walled pressurized vessels.
