COURSE (ESCRI&TION
Mechanics of Materials .;E 34))0' 8hich is also calle% as the >Strength of Materials? in so#e other
institutions' is the /asis for engineering classes in structural analysis. This class is the secon% le=el
intro%uctory class for the real structures for ;i=il Engineering' Mechanical Engineering' Engineering
Mechanics' etc. ;o#,aring to the intro%uctory class' Static .;E +45)0' this class %eal 8ith the %efor#ation
of structural #e#/ers un%ergoing fun%a#ental loa%ing con%itions' stress!strain relations an% sta/ility of
structural #e#/ers. These consi%erations are essential for the %esign of real structures.
