Strength of Materials

This course forms the second of a series of courses that introduces the student to Mechanics, a general science dealing with bodies subjected to forces. Statics deals with the Mechanics of Forces, whereas this course deals with the Mechanics of Materials. Through this field of study, the learner will examine the behaviours that loaded objects in equilibrium go through, depending on their type of material. This is a microscopic view of what is happening within the object due to external forces distributed internally, creating a cross-sectional phenomenon called stress. The course also examines how the object or structure reacts, resulting in another dimensional change called strain. This course will further expand the learner’s awareness to analyze complex structures and introduce other concepts of Advanced Structural Design.
