Overview
This course examines the relationship between structure and properties of materials. Throughout, the properties of materials are considered in terms of their applications and in the context of design. The concepts of equilibrium, stress and strain are used to examine the safety and serviceability of elastic structures and components, including beams, trusses, columns and shafts. Two-dimensional stress analysis is considered briefly.
