Course overview
This course aims to equip students with a thorough understanding of the mechanical behaviour of engineering materials under various types of loads. Building upon the concepts of static equilibrium in rigid body, students will delve into the essential principles of deformable bodies, such as stress, strain, deformation, torsion, shear, bending, and buckling, and will learn to apply these principles to analyse and design structural components in engineering applications. The course is designed to foster analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling students to effectively address real-world engineering challenges related to material strength and durability.
