Mechanics of Deformable Bodies

Mechanics of materials is a study of the relationship between the external loads applied to a body and the stress and strain caused by the internal loads within the body. This is an important course in Civil Engineering because it is the foundation of design subjects such as Reinforced Concrete Design and Steel Design.
