Course overview
This course introduces the fundamentals of solid mechanics essential for mechanical engineering, covering stress, strain, deformation, and failure modes across various materials like metals, plastics, and wood, Hooke's law, torsion, bending, beam deflection, buckling and stress-strain analysis. This course is designed to lay a solid foundation for the mechanical engineering programs while developing students’ analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Fundamentals Of Stress And Strain
- Reaction Of Materials
- Applications, Advanced Methods
Course learning outcomes
- Knows the fundamental principles in stress analysis and basics of design for strength
- Summarises fundamental principles of real-life failures of various mechanical machinery components
- Evaluates and applies the appropriate selection of materials relating to design for strength against failures
- Applies knowledge and practical skills in mechanics of materials required to analyse complex real-world problems and formulate appropriate assumptions for basic stress analysis calculations
- Understands the responsibility of engineers for the safe design of engineering structures and the unfortunate consequences of failures, and loss of human lives
