Course Description
The objective of this course is to become proficient in the analysis of stresses and strains in simple
mechanical structures subjected to combinations of axial, torsion and flexural loads. In particular,
the course will address two-dimensional transformations of stress and strain components, yield and
fracture criteria, the deflection of statically determinate and indeterminate beams, buckling of
columns having various end conditions. Finally, energy methods will be used to solve both statically
determinate and indeterminate problems.

Prerequisites
 Year-1 math courses
 06-85-111; Engineering Mechanics I (Statics)
