No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1974–75 to 1994–95 (before that, 1973–74 used the number for Electricity and Magnetism); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Introduction to mechanical response of materials and stress-strain relationship. Behaviour of prismatic members in tension, compression, shear, bending and torsion. Shear-force and bendingmoment diagrams. Work and energy methods. Introduction to instability.
As printed in the 1981–82 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
