Learning Objectives

With the successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:

• Calculate the stress state (normal and shear stresses)at every point within a symmetric cross section of a structural member when under axial and/or bending and/or shear and/or torsion loads.
• Estimate principle stresses and max shear stress as well as the planes they appear
• Calculate the deflection shape/line in simple beam structures due to flexural loading, and invoke compatibility conditions to analyze simple indeterminate structures.
