Advanced Strength of Materials

3 credits · Graduate

The course introduces tensor mathematics. The governing equations of an elastic solid are developed in various coordinate systems. Engineering problems such as plane problem, St. Venant, bending, torsion, and extension of bars are treated. Displacement, stress field and Airy function and some numerical methods for obtaining solutions are other methods that are covered. The course explores various failure criteria and their application. Theory of anisothropic elastic continuum concludes the course. PREREQUISITES: Undergraduate senior level Strength of Materials or equivalent
