ES 13: MECHANICS OF DEFORMABLE BODIES I

Course Description: Analysis and design of structural and machine elements, such as tension and compression
members, shafts, beams and columns, based on equilibrium and material properties. Elementary stress and
strain analysis. Riveted and welded connections. Members of two or more materials.

Prerequisite/co-requisite: ES 11
Credit: 3 units

Course Objective:
To develop the student’s ability to:
(1) Solve problems in a clear, logical and systematic approach using the fundamental principles of strength of
materials.
(2) Determine and predict responses/reactions of various engineering structures to different types of loads.
(3) Analyze the vulnerability of the structures to various failure modes.
