## Review for Strength of Materials

### Course Overview


"Strength of Materials," also known as Mechanics of Materials, is a foundational course for
engineering and architecture students. This course focuses on understanding how materials
respond to various types of forces and loads, which is critical for designing safe and efficient
structures. It covers the behavior of materials under tension, compression, shear, and
torsion, as well as the principles of stress, strain, and deformation.

### Course Content


The course typically covers the following key topics:

1. **Introduction to Stress and Strain**:


- Definitions of stress and strain.
- Types of stress: normal stress, shear stress.
- Stress-strain relationships and material properties (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio).

2. **Axial Loading**:
- Analysis of members under tension and compression.
- Deformation of axially loaded members.
- Thermal effects on axial deformation.

3. **Torsion**:
- Torsional stress and strain in circular shafts.
- Angle of twist and deformation in torsion.
- Power transmission and torsional rigidity.

4. **Bending**:
- Bending stress in beams.
- Shear force and bending moment diagrams.
- Beam deflection and the flexural formula.

5. **Shear Stress and Shear Flow**:


- Shear stress in beams.
- Shear flow in thin-walled members.
- Shear center and its significance.

6. **Combined Loading**:
- Superposition of stress due to combined loads.
- Mohr's circle for plane stress and strain.
- Principal stresses and maximum shear stress.
