This course introduces fundamental concepts of deformable bodies. It serves as a bridge between mechanics of rigid bodies and structural analysis. It introduces the behavior of structural members, both qualitatively and quantitatively, under different types of external loadings.

CILO-1: Compute the stresses of members subjected to axial force and torsion. [POs: a,e] CILO-2: Calculate the stresses of statically determined beams and analyze the stress-strain state. [POs: a,e] CILO-3: Calculate the deflection of statically determinate beams. [POs: a,e] CILO-4: Calculate the critical load of compression members [POs: a,e] CILO-5: Manipulate the experimental instruments, implement mechanics knowledge for the experimental design and be capable in experimental data analysis and laboratory report writing. [POs: b,g]
