Stress Analysis

Undergraduate

Analysis of stresses and strains in simple mechanical structures subjected to combinations of axial, torsion and flexural loads; two-dimensional transformations of stress and strain components; yield and fracture criteria; deflection of statically determinate and indeterminate beams; buckling of columns with various end conditions; introduction to energy methods. (Prerequisite: GENG-2180.) (3 lecture, 2 laboratory/tutorial hours a week.)
