Teaching Method

Outline:

The concept of structural mechanics, which considers the deformation of an object when a load is applied, is important in the design of any structure. In this lecture, the first half of this lecture explains the energy method and the static structure as an application of the mechanics of materials and structural mechanics of this course, and the second half explains the matrix structure analysis method. The goal of this course is to deepen the understanding of these applied concepts of structural mechanics.

Style:

In class, we will explain as many examples as possible for each content, and we will give them exercises as homework as a review. [30 hours of class time + 60 hours of self-study time]
