MECH 260, Section 101, Introduction to Mechanics of Materials 3 Credits, 1st Semester 2012/13 (Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:00-9:30 a.m.); Room: MCLD 202 Course Web Site: www.mech.ubc.ca/~ial The course material including the lecture presentations, homework assignments, and the solutions to homework problems and exams will be posted at this web site. Instructor: Dr. Clarence de Silva, Professor Office: CEME 2071; Tel: 604-822-6291; e-mail: desilva@mech.ubc.ca Course Objectives This course deals with the internal effects (primarily stresses and strains) in a deformable solid boy due to external loads acting on it. The subject is also known as Strength of Materials or Solid Mechanics. It is useful in a variety of engineering areas including mechanical, civil, and mining engineering and biomechanics. It provides theory and formulas that are directly applicable in the modeling, analysis, design, and testing of engineering devices and structures such as automobiles, airplanes, robots, machine tools, engines, bridges, elevated guideways, and buildings. Stresses in an object are governed by the internal loading, which are determined from equilibrium equations with external loading. Stresses are a determining factor of the strength of the object. Strains caused by loading are directly related to the deflection or deformation or compatibility of the object. The stress-strains relations (or constitutive relations) determine the stiffness of an object are governed by the physics of the object. In addition to strength, deformation, and stiffness, the subject of Mechanics of Materials also concerns stability which studies the possibility of deformations that can grow suddenly without limit (in theory). The course consists of lectures, tutorials, homework assignments, quizzes, an intermediate examination, and a final examination.
