• The following chapters of the full Mechanics-BSc book:

  • Statics: all topics as a prerequisite except for Differential equations for equilibrium relations and, Solve section forces frame structures - Diagrams and Solve section forces ... using differential equations.

  • Stresses and displacements: all topics as a prerequisite, except for Solve displacements ... and kinematic relations.

  • Continuum mechanics: all topics

• The following old exam questions could be used as additional practice material. Note that the emphasis in old exams might be different. Furthermore some (indicated) questions are not part of the content of this course: in case the Circle of Mohr is used to rotate tensors you can replace that with the transformation formulas.
