New York: HarperCollins Publisher Inc.ĬOURSE REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES1. Stresses: normal stress, shearing stress and bearing stress OBJECTIVESAt the end of the course, the student should be able to:a) Analyze stress and strain in the materials due to loads and twist andb) Design structural elements such as beams and others based on equilibrium and properties of material.Ģ. A thorough mastery of the strength of materials will enable them to understand the theory of the design of structural steel, timber and reinforced concrete regardless of the material. In this course, the students will learn the concepts of stress, strain and deformation that will help them in their further analysis of these concepts and will introduce them to some of the mechanical properties that they will encounter in other courses. The course covers a study of the principles that govern the two fundamental concepts of strength and rigidity. The properties of the materials of which a structure or machine is made affect both its choice and dimensions that will satisfy the requirements of strength and rigidity. The bodies are no longer assumed to be ideally rigid the deformations are of major interest. Strength of materials deals with the relations between externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies.
