Advanced Solid Mechanics

(2 Credits)

The course introduces students to the fundamentals of structural components analysis thus enabling them to employ that knowledge for structural analysis and for design of structural members. Topics include: three-dimensional analysis of stress; torsion of thin-walled sections; inelastic torsion; analysis of composite and unsymmetric beams; inelastic bending; beam deflections; elastic buckling of columns; and strength failure criteria.
