Strength of Materials I
| Course Purpose |
|---|
| Mechanics of materials is the study of mathematically determining the effects of forces and deformations generated inside members by external forces on all kinds of structures. The objective of Mechanics of Materials I is to understand the concepts of stress and strain, and to acquire the ability to solve basic problems such as tension, compression, torsion, and bending. |
| Learning Goals |
| By the end of the course, students should be able to do the following: ・Understand the basic concepts of stress and strain and perform basic calculations. ・Determine the internal forces, deformations, stresses, and strains in a member caused by various external forces, based on mathematical methods. |
