Course Objectives
This course continues to present a unified approach to the study of the behavior of structural members and the development of design and failure criteria. The course treats each type of structural member in sufficient detail so that the resulting solutions are directly applicable to real-world problems. New examples for various types of member and a large number of new problems are included. To facilitate the transition from elementary mechanics of structure to advanced topics, a review of the elements of mechanics of structures is presented along with appropriate examples and problems

Stress Tensors
Introduction to the Stress – Strain Relationship
Solution of Problems in 2D Elasticity
