This module describes the skills, knowledge and attitude required to theoretical
applications of strength of materials including classifying the different types of stresses
and describing in details the method of finding the volumetric strain. This module is
intended to trainees pursuing diploma in automobile technology. At the end of this
module, the trainees will be able to describe materials and mechanical properties for
steel and steel sections, calculate direct stress and strain for structural applications,
describe bending moments and shear forces for beams. He or She will have the ability
to exercise some initiative and independence in carrying out defined activities at a
