Mechanics covers the fundamentals of modeling continuous media. Major topics include stress, strain, and constitutive relations; elements of tensor analysis; basic applications of solid and fluid mechanics; and application of conservation laws to control volumes.
Prerequisites: (PHYS 111 or PHYS 121), (PHYS 112K or PHYS 122), and (MATH 264 or MATH 266) (each with minimum C-).
Outcomes: Construct free-body diagrams to undertake structural analysis; Apply the laws of conservation to solve engineering problems.
