Course Description
The student will apply engineering principles to determine mechanical capacities of structural materials. The course will develop and present concepts of stress and strain, including thermal stresses, stresses developed by combination loading, transformation of stresses (Mohr's Circle, and analytically); elastic and plastic deformation in axial, transverse, and torsional loading; and deflection of beams and columns. The course will present methods for design of beams using shear and bending moment diagrams with single and combine loading, and the design of columns and shafts.
