Mechanics of materials for engineering applications

Course Description:
In this course, the analysis of the internal effects of forces and loads in solid and deformable bodies. The course focuses on the principles of the stresses and strains and the related terminologies for each of them. The material's strength and deformation are introduced in this course in order to establish the stability bending, shear, and transverse loads effects.

Course Outline:
1. Stresses and strains definitions and basic calculations 2. Materials mechanical properties definitions and related concepts 3. Stress-strain diagrams for ductile and brittle materials 4.
