The topics introduced in this course include the analysis and design of structural member subjected to axial load, torsion and bending, as well as such fundamental concepts as stress, strain, elastic, and inelastic behavior, and strain energy. Other topics of general interest are the transformation of stress and strain, stress concentrations, deflections of beam, behavior of columns, and energy methods. More specialized topics are thermal and prestrain effects, pressure vessels, nonprismatic members, discontinuity functions, shear center. and inelastic bending.
