Machine Design I:: Static and Fatigue Failure

This document discusses a machine design course that focuses on material properties, static failure, and fatigue failure. The specific module covers the modulus of elasticity, including defining it as the slope of the linear elastic region of the stress-strain curve, how it relates to a material's stiffness, and providing examples of modulus values for common materials like rubber and steel.
