Course description and aims

This course aims to teach students of non-mechanical engineering course basics of strength of materials to learn how to consider problems from the mechanical perspective. Topics include mechanical properties, stress and complicated stress, bending, twisting, strain energy, impact loading, buckling, stress concentration, plastic deformation and creep, fatigue and fracture, and nondestructive testing methods.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will:
1. be able to explain the mechanical properties of materials
2. be able to calculate stress, strain, and deformation by external forces and moments
3. be able to explain mechanical behavior of materials which are necessary to design, produce, and maintain machines

Keywords

stress, strain, moment

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
