Course Objectives

The purpose of this course is to teach students the fundamental concepts and principles related to the mechanics of materials (deformable bodies); to enable them to gain knowledge about the mechanical properties of materials; and to provide them with the ability to analyze and design structural bar elements in simple strength conditions (axial loading, bending, torsion, etc.).

Course Content

The course content first establishes a foundation with Introduction, Concepts, and Principles; then delves into Internal Forces, States of Stress and Strain, and Kinematics and Stress-Strain Relationships in detail. Subsequently, it moves on to Strain Energy and Allowable Stresses, focusing on the Fundamentals of Bar Strength, Internal Forces, and Equivalence Relationships. In light of all this information, fundamental loading conditions such as Axial Normal Force, Shear Force, Torsion, and Simple Bending, and their effects are examined in detail.
