Statics and mechanics of materials Statics of Particles Rigid Bodies : Equivalent Systems of Forces Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies Distributed Forces : Centroids and Centers of Gravity Analysis of Structures Distributed Forces : Moments of Inertia Concept of Stress Stress and Strain : Axial Loading Torsion Pure Bending Analysis and Design of Beams for Bending Shearing Stresses in Beams and Thin Walled Members Transformations of Stress Deflection of Beams Columns. Study of statics and mechanics of materials is based on the understanding of a few basic concepts and on the use of simplified models. This approach makes it possible to develop all the necessary formulas in a rational and logical manner and to clearly indicate the conditions under which they can be safely applied to the analysis and design of actual engineering structures and machine components
