Covers the basics of structural mechanics, including static forces, stress, strain, and structural elements like bars, cables, trusses, and beams.
Explains the Polar Decomposition Theorem, which isolates stretching from rotation to prevent stress induction in the body.
Covers the application of the plasticity condition in a plate with a hole and the estimation of the plastic zone region using the elastic stress field.
Explores linear elasticity in 3D, stress-strain relationship, isotropic materials, and shear stress importance.
