Covers the basics of structural mechanics, including forces, materials behavior, and failure mechanisms, along with advanced topics and a historical overview.
Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
Covers the fundamental concepts of structural mechanics, including materials properties, stress and strain, equilibrium of forces and moments, and elementary structures.
Introduces fundamental concepts of engineering mechanics, materials classification, and basic mechanics vocabulary, along with the history of mechanics.
