PEN Subject Title: Mechanics of Deformable Bodies Prerequisite: BES 025

I. Course Description

This subject will cover axial stress and strain; stresses for torsion and bending; combined stresses;
statically indeterminate structures, and shear and moment equations and diagrams.

II. Course Objectives

At the end of this term, you should be able to understand and appreciate the significance of the
fundamental concepts in strength of materials in the design procedure of structural members, explain
the basic concepts of stress and strain, calculate the stresses due to tension, shear, and bending; and torsion
under plain and combined loadings, and analyze statically determinate and indeterminate structures.

IV. Grading System

The Final Grade is computed as follows:

Final Grade = 0.2P1 + 0.2P2 + 0.2P3 + 0.4FE > 60%

1st Periodical Grade = (Class standing + Prelim Exam)/2 = 50%CS + 50% Exam
Class Standing = 60% quiz + 40% class participation
Class Participation = Seatwork, Assignment, Recitation, Problem set

2nd Periodical Grade = (Class standing + 2nd Periodical Exam)/2

Class Standing = 60% quiz + 40% class participation
Class Participation = Seatwork, Assignment, Recitation, Problem set

3rd Periodical Grade = (Class standing + 3rd Periodical Exam)/2

Class Standing = 60% quiz + 40% class participation
Class Participation = Seatwork, Assignment, Recitation, Problem set

VI. Course Requirements

• There will be four periodic examinations: Preliminary Exam ( P1 Exam), Midterm Exam ( P2 Exam),
Semifinal Exam (P3 Exam), and Final Exam. Passing > 60%.

• Students who miss a quiz or an exam with a valid reason (ex. A student who fails to take the exam
because of health reasons shall first present a valid medical certificate to justify his condition) will be
allowed to take a make-up quiz or examination which will be given within five days after the original
date of the quiz or examination but also within the period of encoding of grades.

• A student who incurs a failing grade in the Final Examination gets a Final Grade of INC. The student
is required to file a completion form before qualifying for a removal examination. The final examination
grade will be set to 60 once the student gets a perfect score in the removal examination. If in one
academic year the student fails to change his/her grade from a n I NC t o a passing grade, h e/she will
be given a grade of No Credit (NC).
