Introduces the ME-104 course on structural mechanics, covering objectives, logistics, and key concepts in understanding static forces and structural analysis.
Explores the nonlinear analysis of structures, covering stiffness formulations, typical behavior under loading, and empirical equations for steel and concrete components.
Covers the design of trusses, space trusses, frames, and machines, emphasizing the analysis of statically determinate structures and the importance of achieving a statically determinate structure.
