Strength of Materials course answers two crucial questions an engineer encounters in practical life:
1. Is the material strong enough?
2. Is the material stiff enough ?
If your material is not strong enough, it will break.
If your material is not stiff enough, it will deform and not work in the way you intend to.
The purpose of designing machine elements are: 1.Maximizing safety 2.Maximizing economy (reducing cost)
REVIEW OF STATICS
STEP 1: Draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD)
STEP 2: Invoke the equations of equilibrium and solve for reaction forces.
