Modules in Mechanics of Materials List of Symbols

This document provides a list of symbols commonly used in mechanics of materials. It includes symbols for various mechanical properties, dimensions, forces, stresses, strains, materials properties, and other variables. Over 100 different symbols are defined, ranging from basic variables like A for area, E for modulus of elasticity, and σ for stress, to more specialized variables like Gc for critical strain energy release rate, Tg for glass transition temperature, and Ω for configurational probability. The comprehensive list of symbols acts as a reference for the terms and notation used within mechanics of materials.
