STRENGHT OF MATERIAL

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. 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 professional level.
