Midterm Topics
1. Basic Concepts
• Strain-displacement relation
• Stress-strain relation
• Equilibrium equation (3D/2D)
• Compatibility equation
• Displacement method vs Force method
• Boundary Conditions
• Prandtl stress function
• Airy stress function

2. Plane stress & Plane strain (Airy stress function)

3. Stress transformation (Mohr’s circle): Review Mohr’s circle

• Principal stress
• Principal orientation

4. Torsion
• Single-cell thin-walled sections (Closed/Open sections)
• Multicell thin-walled sections
