Course Content
|
To teach students the principles of mechanics of materials and to develop engineering problem solving skills in stress/strain/deflection analysis through application of these principles. Topics covered include: behavior of axially loaded members; torsion in circular shafts; stresses and deflections in beams with symmetric cross sections; stress and strain transformation when coordinate systems are rotated; principle stresses; triaxial stresses and maximum shear stress; response in thin walled pressure vessels. The course relies on the students’ knowledge of mathematics and basic science in developing principles and analytical techniques of mechanics of materials.
