Deformation and DislocationsExplores the sliding of dislocations in single crystals, plastic deformation, and stress fields induced by dislocations.
Shear and Bearing StressesExplores shear and bearing stresses, including plasticity, creep, Hooke's Law, and allowable stresses in engineering design.
Geomechanics: Basic ConceptsIntroduces basic concepts of geomechanics, stress paths, effective stress, and shear strength analysis through laboratory testing.
