Goals and objectives
This is a graduate-level course in materials mechanics. The course provides a complete theory, which is generalized to three dimensional of the elastic behavior of materials, and applicable methods to design the structures and their members.
Students should be able to learn the basics of materials mechanics and applicable methods to deal with the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains.

On completion of this course, the students should be able to:
Understand the theory of elasticity and a fundamental concept of fracture mechanics.
Calculate mechanical states of structures and estimate the strength of elastic bodies with cracks.
Prerequisites
It is desirable that students attending this class are already interested in structural design and mechanics. Linear algebra and the basics of materials mechanics are requested in this class to solve engineering structural problems.

(3) Stress and strain2(Strain-displacement relationships, general definition of 3D Strain)
(4) Elasticity 1(Differential equations of isotropic elasticity)
(5) Elasticity 2 (Superposition of solutions for various loading)
(6) Elasticity 3 (Equations of bending theory)
(7) Plane elastic problem 1(Basic solutions for concentrated loading, Airy stress function in rectangular Cartesian coordinates)
(8) Plane elastic problem 2(Airy stress function in polar coordinates)
(9) Fracture mechanics 1(Linear elastic fracture mechanics, Griffith's criterion)
(10) Fracture mechanics 2(Stress intensity factor, Strain energy release, Crack tip plastic zone)
(11) Engineering Fracture Mechanics 3 (Fundamentals and Applications, Fracture toughness)
(12) Fatigue 1 (Introduction to Fatigue)
(13) Fatigue 2 (Fatigue crack growth, If there's a crack that can grow, the life is determined by the crack growth rate)
(14) Final Examination
(15) Reviewing of the course

Evaluation
Less than D points is an indicator of failure.
Evaluation includes homework and reports of strength analyses. If students do not submit homework or a report, students will receive a grade of failure.
Feedback for students
Feedback for students will be given when each report is returned and explained.
