Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:

Structural mechanics is one of the basics of mechanics. The course will mainly involve learning the moment of inertia of area, relationship between stress and strain, deflections of beams, and influence line.

Style:

Lectures will be conducted mainly using textbooks and board writing.

Notice:

To have an understanding of mathematics. Students must write down in their notebooks the notes on the blackboard. If anything is unclear during exercises, students must ask questions in class. Students should review at home, and should not wait until just before the examination to study.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
