Course Description

Studies properties of structure materials. Analyzes stress and deformation in axially-loaded members, in circular shafts and beams and in statically indeterminate systems containing these components.

Course learning outcomes

1. Calculate average normal, shear, and bearing stresses on sections and connectors.
2. Relate allowable stress, material strength and safety factor in component design.
3. Use Mohr’s circle to determine principal stresses, maximum shear stress, and principal axes orientation.
4. Calculate stresses for axial, torsion, beam bending, and combined loading on simple structural elements.
5. Draw shear and bending moment diagrams, and write beam equilibrium equations.
6. Calculate beam deflections using integration of the moment equation and the method of superposition.
