The course provides students with the knowledge to determine the strength and stiffness of structures being used. The structures that will be studied in this course are bars, pins, bolts, shafts, and beams and the types of applied loadings are axial forces, deformations due to the change in temperature, torsional loads, transverse loads and combination of these loads. At the end of the course, students should be able to determine the mechanical properties of the materials with respect to their strength and stiffness. Students should be able to calculate stresses, strains, and deformations in structures due to various types of loading conditions. In addition, they should be able to solve problems related to statically determinate and indeterminate structures.
