• Introduction to engineering mechanics, including dimensional analysis, stresses and strength, deformation and strain, elasticity and thermodynamics of reversible processes, energy bounds in linear elasticity, perspectives on elastic instability, fracture and yield design. Focus is on underlying physics laws (conservation of momentum, thermodynamic of reversible and irreversible processes) as applied to truss, beam, and continuum systems.
