Course Description & Objectives:

This course deals with more advanced topics in Strength and Mechanics of Engineering Materials and application of the elementary theory to structural behavior of structural elements and the criteria governing their failure. Objectives:

To enable the student learn the fundamental laws of mechanics governing the behavior of materials and so assess their design based on the determined failure theories.

Learning Outcomes:

On completing the course the student should be able

To analyse stresses, strains and deformations of structural elements and asses their mode of failure based on the learned failure theories
