Name of Lecturer(s)

Prof. Ömer Rıza AKGÜN

Learning Outcomes

1	Understand the laws of strength of materials.
2	Calculate maximum and minimum normal and shear stresses and the orientations at which they occur for an arbitrary two-dimensional stress / strain state.
3	Calculate stress, strain, and deformation for basic geometries subjected to axial, torsional, bending, and transverse loading.
4	Identify a statically indeterminate problem and solve such a problem for axial loading.
5	Draw axial, torsional, bending, and shear loading diagrams.
