| Purpose: The purpose of this module is to equip a student with basic technical knowledge for determining state of common engineering structures under simple and direct loading conditions. After completing this module, the student is expected to determine stresses and strains in: axially-loaded bars/rods of different configurations; thinﾭ walled cylinders both under pressure and/or in rotation; shafts in torsion; axiallyﾭ loaded helical springs of various configurations. The student should also be able to determine internal forces arising in plane trusses as a result of dead loads. | |||
