Introduction and Rationale: Mechanics of materials is a branch of mechanics that examines the relationships between the external loads applied to a body and the internal forces arising within the body. In the design of any structure or machine it is first necessary to determine the forces acting on and within its various members. However, the size and stability of the members depend also on the materials the members are made from. Consequently, an understanding of material behavior is of vital importance for developing the necessary equations used in mechanics of materials. Many formulas and rules for design, as defined in engineering codes and used in practice, are based on the fundamentals of mechanics of materials and for this reason an understanding of the principles of the subject is very important. Aims: To introduce the student to the basic principles and fundamentals of applied mechanics

To provide the knowledge and understanding to be able to analyse a range of problems in mechanics involving the determination of the stresses and deformations of bodies and members under various common loading situations: axial loading, bending, torsion and shear To introduce the various modes of material failure and the consequence of these with regard to design Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of the course the student will be able to: Recognise the failure modes of a range of materials and the conditions under which they will occur Apply standard expressions and formulae to calculate mechanical properties and physical quantities Report the procedures and results of practical experiments in a clear, precise manner. Reflect on the experimental outcomes and formulate appropriate conclusions. Analyse in a systematic manner and solve a range of problems in applied mechanics and strength of materials Appraise, compare and select materials for their suitability for a given design

Tutorials will be used for acquiring experience and practice on the taught principle. Students will also have their learning enhanced by access to a programmed learning module with software containing interactive simulations and animations. A laboratory programme will supplement the lectures and tutorials.
