Build working competence in core mechanics-of-materials analysis for common structural/machine elements. The course covers stress–strain fundamentals (normal/shear, transformation, principal stresses, basic Mohr’s circle), linear-elastic constitutive laws and material properties, and axial deformation of prismatic/stepped members. It develops beam analysis skills: load–shear–moment relations, SFD/BMD construction, flexure theory and transverse shear stress, and deflection via the elastic-curve/curvature equation and superposition. It also treats torsion of circular shafts, thin-walled pressure vessels, springs, energy/impact methods (strain energy, resilience), and Euler column buckling with effective length factors and end conditions.
