This course builds upon foundational principles to address complex engineering problems, equipping students to analyze and design structural components under combined loads. Students will learn to determine stresses using Mohr's circle and calculate beam deflections. A key goal is the design of beams for strength and stiffness. The course also covers buckling and energy methods to analyze work, strain energy, and impact loads.
