Delves into advanced physics concepts like uniform motion, vectors, and three-dimensional movement, with practical exercises on kinematics and coordinate systems.
Explores mechanical equilibrium, focusing on forces, moments, and resultants in 2D and 3D systems, emphasizing system isolation and equilibrium conditions.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Covers modeling and analyzing real structures, emphasizing equilibrium, line of influence, and the importance of verifying finite element program results.
