Description:
Mechanics is a branch of the physical sciences concerned with the state of rest or
motion of bodies that are subjected to the action of forces. Mechanics of
materials is a branch of mechanics that studies the internal effects of stress and
strain in a solid body. Stress is associated with the strength of the materials
from which the body is made, while strain is a measure of the deformation of the
body. This course covers the theory of statics, bending of beams, stress and
strain analysis and Hooke’s law. The students understand the concepts of
deformation, strain and stress, and solve elementary elastic problems such as beam
bending and torsion of bars.

Note:
All lectures, exams, and handouts will be given in English. Attendance at all
lectures and exams is required. A make-up exam could be arranged only for medical
reasons with official documents. Late homework will not be accepted.
Honor code:
Discussion of homework questions is encouraged. However, please submit your own
independent homework solutions. Plagiarism of any form of academic misconduct
(including but not limited to, copying another student’s work, copying materials
directly from other resources without proper acknowledgement) is a violation of
class rules and will result in disciplinary actions.
