1 Name and Code of Course Mechanics of Materials / BFC 20903

2 Synopsis Mechanics is the body of knowledge that deals with the

relationships between forces and the motion of points through
space, including the material space. Material science is the body
of knowledge that deals with the properties of materials, including
their mechanical properties. This course introduces students to
simplify the effect of material and geometric properties when the
structure is loaded with outside and internal forces. Scope of this
course includes the analysis and design of structural members
subjected to axial loads, torsion and bending, as well as such
fundamental concepts as stress and strain, deflections of beams,
behaviour of columns and statically determinate plane truss.
