Mechanics of Materials I:: Fundamentals of Stress & Strain and Axial Loading

This document provides an overview of the Mechanics of Materials I course, which focuses on fundamentals of stress and strain from axial loading. The course introduces important topics like internal forces from external loads, normal and shear stresses, stress-strain behavior, and Hooke's law. It aims to describe stress and strain analysis that forms the basis for structural and machine design. The document outlines subsequent courses that build on these fundamentals to cover additional topics like thin-walled pressure vessels, torsion, beam bending, deflections, buckling, combined loading, and failure theories.
