What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
recognise a structural system that is stable and in equilibrium
determine the stress-strain relation for single and composite members based on Hooke's law
estimate the stresses and strains in single and composite members due to temperature changes
evaluate the distribution of shear forces and bending moments in beams with distributed and concentrated loads
determine bending stresses and their use in identifying slopes and deflections in beams
use Mohr's circle to evaluate the normal and shear stresses in a multi-dimensional stress system and transformation of these stresses into strains
evaluate the stresses and strains due to torsion on circular members;
determine the buckling loads of columns under various fixity conditions at the ends.
