Covers space trusses, frames, and machines, emphasizing equilibrium analysis and structural design principles.
Introduces key concepts in structural mechanics, such as determinate and indeterminate systems, linear superposition, and stress-strain relationships.
Covers the fundamentals of structural mechanics, focusing on beams, sign conventions, types of beams, and methods to calculate stress resultants.
Explains the Polar Decomposition Theorem, which isolates stretching from rotation to prevent stress induction in the body.
