The subject of Strength of Materials constitutes the study of the behavior of real materials in relation to their characteristics of strength, rigidity, and stability. This discipline requires the necessary conceptual foundation for its proper understanding. That is why, in order to successfully take this course, students must have:
- Knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, and statics acquired in the subject of Physics I in the first year of the Mechanical Engineering degree (review is recommended).
- Capacity for written and oral comprehension.
- Ability for abstraction, basic calculation, and synthesis of information. |
