mech of mate Mechanics of Materials

This module provides students with strong understanding of materials behavior and response (deformation, stresses and failure) due to various loading conditions (axial, torsion, bending, and shear) applied individually or in combinations to structural members. After successful completion of the module, the student will be able to calculate deformation, strain and stress that develop in materials when subjected to various loading conditions (axial, torsion, bending, shear, and combined loading), design and verify the design of simple structural members, analyze simple indeterminate members by using equilibrium and compatibility equations, and demonstrate skills in problem solving and analytical thinking.
