The course teaches mechanics of deformable bodies. Topics covered include concepts of stress and strain, classification of materials behaviour, stress-strain relations, generalized Hook's law. It also covers applications to engineering problems: members under axial loads, torsion of circular rods and tubes, bending and shear stresses in beams, combined stresses in beams, transformations of stresses, deflection of beams, buckling and thin-walled pressure vessels.
