Introduces elasticity, normal and shearing stresses and strains, bending moments, torsion, compound stress, and deflection.

Introduces experimental techniques for measuring stresses and strains associated with the compression, tension, bending, and torsion in structural members.

Introduces the concepts of center of mass, force systems, vector resultants, and static equilibrium.

Covers the kinematics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies.
