Explores material behavior in shear, shear forces, stress, equilibrium, shear laws, tension/compression, plane shear, shear rate, constrained slip, and shear strength.
Explores principal stresses in 2D and 3D, deriving equations and understanding the relationship between shear and normal stresses.
Explores linear elasticity in 3D, stress-strain relationship, isotropic materials, and shear stress importance.
Introduces basic concepts of geomechanics, stress paths, effective stress, and shear strength analysis through laboratory testing.
Explores shear and bearing stresses, including plasticity, creep, Hooke's Law, and allowable stresses in engineering design.
