At the end of the course, students will be able to
1. understand the difference between the quasi-static and dynamic properties of materials.   

2. one-dimensional elastic-plastic stress waves propagating in bars.

3. improve their knowledge on how bars respond to Impact Loading which creates elastic stress waves in members.    

4. analyze the contact duration between impinging bodies.

5. determine the coefficient of restitution between impinging bodies.

6. analyze stress distribution in bodies up to separation time.

7. analyze energy and momentum transmission between impinging bodies.
  
8. learn how to prepare, submit and present a detailed technical report on an assigned subject.
