Mechanics of Materials

Mechanics of Materials (or Strength of Materials) is an important engineering subject to students whose majors are civil engineering, mechanical engineering, architect, environmental engineering, etc. Mechanics of Materials provides essential knowledge on the mechanical behaviour of materials and structural members under loadings. The knowledge obtained from this subject builds a firm step for studying other follow-on engineering subjects. Also, it is useful for engineers in their higher study and future career. The role of this subject can be compared with a ‘foundation’ of a ‘building’.
