Solid Mechanics

Solid Mechanics

The discussion focuses on the theories of failure in solid mechanics, emphasizing stress analysis in structures under applied loads. Key topics include the design of a lever and the stresses experienced in its cross-section, the concept of thermoelasticity, and the behavior of materials under loading, leading to plastic deformation or failure. Practical applications are highlighted to illustrate the complexity involved in real-world scenarios.
