ENGR& 225 - Mechanics of Materials

Credits: (5)
Natural Sciences
A continuation of ENGR& 214 applied to deformable structures. Focus is on relating external applied loads (e.g., axial; torsion; bending; transverse shear; combined; etc.) and a structures material properties to the internal loads, deformations, strains, and stresses that result. Stress/strain transformations and failure theories introduced in the context of predicting structural failure. Other types of failure modes including buckling and fatigue briefly introduced. Emphasis given to practical applications (e.g., beam sizing/design) and how the subject applies in industry.

Prerequisite: ENGR& 214 with a grade of C or higher.
