Introduction to Mechanics of Materials

4 credits

Introduction to the concepts of stress, deformation, and strain in solid materials. Development of basic relationships among loads, stresses, and deflections of structural and machine elements such as rods, shafts, and beams. Load-carrying capacity of these elements under tension, compression, torsion, bending, and shear forces. Course overlaps with: B ME 222 and TME 222. Prerequisite: minimum grade of 2.0 in A A 210. Offered: AWSp.
