1. Basic concepts, ways of solids loading, distribution of external forces, internal static effects, method of sections. 2. Stress-point in the body, body deformation, stress and strain relation in point of a body, an experimental determination. 3. Simple tension, compression, transverse narrowing, deformation energy, law of superposition. 4. Castigliano's method. 5. Static definite and indefinite cases of the tension and pressure, temperature effect. 6. Rotating-arm, ring, dynamic loads in tension and compression. 7. Linear, planar and spatial stress, Mohr's chart, stress and strain, strain energy. 8. Strength theory. 9. Geometric characteristics of cross-section. 10. Plane-bending of beams, Schwedler theorem, shear stress in the beam. 11. Deformation of beams, deflection equation, using the strain energy to determine the strain. 12. Torsion of rods, deformations and torsional strain energy. 13. Coil springs and their deformations. 14. Combined loads. Stability of beams, design of rods.
