Advanced Structural Mechanics Course Syllabus

Stress and equilibrium conditions, strain and compatibility conditions, stress-strain relations and yield/failure criteria are considered in the context of civil engineering materials
Two-and three-dimensional elasticity theory is developed, with an introduction to the use of tensor notation
Advanced topics in bending, shear and torsion of beams are also covered, as is elementary plate bending theory
Energy methods including virtual work, potential energy, strain energy, and related approaches
Importance of dynamic loads in the design of structures
