Study Notes
Strength of Materials
- Primary focus: understanding the behavior of solids under various types of loading, including external forces, temperature changes, and other external influences.
Stress Analysis
- Primary purpose: to determine the safe dimensions of a part or structure, ensuring it can withstand external loads without failing or deforming excessively.
Modulus of Elasticity
- Defines the ratio of stress (force per unit area) to strain (proportional deformation) in the proportional limit of the material's stress-strain curve.
- Represents the material's stiffness, with higher values indicating greater stiffness.
