Course Rationale:

The purpose of learning this course on Mechanics of Materials, is to provide basic knowledge in mechanics of
materials so that the students can solve real engineering problems and the student will be able to pre-design
different types of elements, for mechanical components, structures and machines

Course Objectives:
At the end of this course on Mechanics of Materials, the learner will be able to

Apply the concepts of stresses and strains for axially-loaded members, circular torsion
members, and members subject to flexural loadings.
Determine and illustrate principal stresses, maximum shearing stress of two dimensional
loaded structural members
Design of Beam with different Cross Sections
Evaluate the deflection of beams using various methods
Analysis of thin-wall spherical and cylindrical pressure vessels and columns
