ME 323: Mechanics of Materials
This page is set up to provide you with links to course material that is directly related to each class period. Please use this as a guideline for your daily work in the course.
Please note that most of the lecture book examples are found in the lecture book; however, to reduce the length of the lecture book, some of the examples have been moved from the lecture book to the Lecturebook examples page on this website. These examples are indicated by ( )** on this page. The conceptual questions listed below are also found on the Lecturebook examples page.
