This laboratory introduces the students to the fundamental concepts of equilibrium of force system for particles and rigid bodies and the application of principles of equilibrium of structures such as the beams.
Also is covered the fundamental application of the principles and theories of stress and strain, and their interrelationship, mechanical properties of materials, shear and bending forces and stresses, maximum and minimum strains and deflection of beams.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this laboratory are as followed:
1- To investigate a group of strength mechanics principles studies in the material mechanics course.
2- To learn how the main parameters and properties used in material mechanics can be measured.
