Mechanics of Materials

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces the following advanced principles applicable to practical problems in the mechanics of materials: transformation equations for plane stress and plane strain; principal and maximum shearing stresses and strains; Mohr’s circle; stresses in thin-walled pressure vessels; combined loading problems; beam deflection by integration and super-position; buckling; and Euler’s equation for columns, the secant formula, and the empirical column formulas. Prerequisite(s): Admission to an Engineering program; ENGR 130-4; MATH 101-3
