Strength of Materials II
| 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.Mechanics of Materials II, students acquire the ability to solve more complex problems based on the knowledge of Mechanics of Materials I, and are introduced to the fundamentals of the finite element method and the elastic mechanics. |
| Learning Goals |
