Learning Outcomes
1.Establish an understanding of the fundamental concepts of mechanics of deformable solids; including static equilibrium, geometry of deformation, and material constitutive behavior.
2.Provide students with exposure to the systematic methods for solving engineering problems in solid mechanics.
3.Discuss the basic mechanical principles underlying modern approaches for design of various types of structural members subjected to axial load, torsion, bending, transverse shear, and combined loading
4.Build the necessary theoretical background for further structural analysis and design courses.
5.Understand the concept of energy methods
