The principles of strength, stiffness, and stability are introduced and applied primarily to mechanical components.
Learning Outcomes1Find internal shear and internal bending moment within a structure due to the external loading.
2Undertsand basic mechanical properties of materials and cross-sectional/area properties of structures and apply them.
3Identify and calculate the stress present due to internal loads.
4Identify potential maximum stress locations and calculate the principle stresses and the maximum shear stress.
5Calculate deflection in statically determinate structures.
