Course Introduction
To develop the ability to set up a free body diagram, to determine the internal and external forces, and to calculate the
stress and strain response for common loading conditions (axial, bending, shear, and torsion) on simple structures. There
will be an emphasis on problem solving and the use of proper units. This course focuses on ability to apply the
knowledge of mechanics of solids on engineering applications and design problems.
