Course Overview
Mechanics of materials is a basic engineering subject that must be understood by anyone concerned
with the strength and physical performance of structures, whether those structures are man-made or
natural. The subject matter includes such fundamental concepts as stresses and strains, deformations
and displacements, elasticity and inelasticity, strain energy, and load-carrying capacity. These
concepts underlie the design and analysis of a huge variety of mechanical and structural systems.

Finite element method (FEM) is a numerical approach by which partial differential equations can
be solved approximately. From an engineering standpoint, the FEM is a method for solving
engineering problems such as stress analysis, heat transfer, fluid flow and electromagnetics by
computer simulation.
