Mechanics of Materials is a basic technical course for engineering major in colleges and universities, and it is a bridge to the basic and professional courses. Mechanics of Materials is a necessary knowledge for civil engineering, mechanical engineering, road and bridge engineering, aerospace engineering, material engineering and other disciplines. The aim of this course is to provide students with the basic concepts and essential knowledge of the strength, stiffness, and stability of the components in the engineering structure. And to cultivate students' ability to analyze and calculate mechanics in engineering design and to solve practical problems in engineering. The course provides the necessary theoretical basis for students to further study basic and professional courses in other subjects

The main contents of Mechanics of Material including: basic deformation of member, stress state analysis, strength theory, combined deformation, stability of compressive column, energy method, Statically indeterminate problems, dynamic load and alternating stress, etc.

The aim of this course is to provide students with the basic concepts and essential knowledge of the strength, stiffness, and stability of the components in the engineering structure. And to cultivate students' ability to analyze and calculate mechanics in engineering design and to solve practical problems in engineering.
