Description
Concepts of stress and strain. Mechanical behavior of materials. Internal reacTons in rods. Axial deflecTons
in rods due to mechanical and/or thermal loadings. StaTcally indeterminate rods. Lateral deflecTons
(Poisson’s raTo). Generalized Hooke’s law. Normal and shear stress in beams. Pure bending. Bending due to
eccentric forces (2D and 3D). Torsion of solid and hollow circular members. Combined loading.
TransformaTon of stresses and strains. Yield criteria for ducTle materials (Maximum distorTon energy
criterion, von Mises and Maximum shear stress criterion, Tresca).
