Prerequisites: Statics (靜力學)

Class Description: This course is mainly to introduce fundamental contents of solid mechanics, including stress, strain, mechanical properties, axial load, torsional moment, bending moment, shear force, and coordinate transformation.

Class Objective: Mechanics of materials is a fundamental course for students who have great interests in analysis and design of solid structures. This course introduces the behaviors of solid bodies subjected to various types of loads for students, including axial-loaded bars, torque-twisted shafts, and bended beams. In addition, this course also introduces the basic concepts of stress and strain, which are the foundation of elasticity.
