This is an integrated course which provides introduction to statics and mechanics of deformable solids. Emphasis on the three basic principles of equilibrium, geometric compatibility, and material behavior. Stress and its relation to force and moment; strain and its relation to displacement; linear elasticity with thermal expansion. Failure modes. Application to simple engineering structures such as rods, shafts, beams, and trusses. Laboratory experiments involving hardness, tensile, impact, bending test,and pressure vessel test.
