SMTL 1010 - Statics and Strength of Materials


Description
In the Statics and Strength of Materials course, you will study loads, forces and their effects on rigid bodies and structures at rest. Topics include: computations of equilibrium reactions, internal forces, shear, moments, couples, stress, strain and deformation, along with finding centroids and moments of inertia. You will study the characteristics and properties of construction materials, as well as the elastic behaviour of flexural members. Practical structural laboratory demonstrations will be performed to illustrate the theoretical concepts.



3 Credits
