材料力学是一门由基础理论课过渡到工程设计课的技术基础课，以先修课程《高等数学》、《普通物理》、《理论力学》等为基础，同时又为后续课程《机械零件设计》、《弹性力学》、《结构力学》等其他技术基础课和专业课提供必要的理论基础。 材料力学又是一门密切联系工程实际的学科，它的一些基本概念、基本理论和基本方法，不仅是学习后续课的基础，而且也可以用来解决工程中的实际问题，通过材料力学的学习，要求学生对构件的强度、刚度和稳定性问题具有明确的基本概念，掌握必要的基础知识、比较熟练的计算能力、初步的实验能力和解决工程实际问题的能力。为学习后续课程和进一步提高分析问题和解决问题的能力奠定必要的力学基础。 Introduction of the course Mechanics of materials is a transition from basic theory to engineering design class technology basic course, courses before the higher mathematics, general physics, theoretical mechanics etc as the foundation. At the same time for the subsequent course of mechanical parts design, the elastic mechanics, structural mechanics, and other technical basic courses and specialized courses provide the necessary theoretical basis. Mechanics of materials is a close contact of practical engineering discipline, and some of its basic concepts, basic theory and basic methods, not only is the foundation of learning subsequent lessons, but also can be used to solve practical problems in engineering. Through the study of mechanics of materials, ask students to artifacts the strength, stiffness and stability of the basic concept of clear, to master the necessary basic knowledge, more skilled computing power, the preliminary experimental ability and the ability to solve practical engineering problems. For learning the follow-up courses and further improve the ability of problem analysis and problem solving necessary mechanics basis.
