EGR 3060 MECHANICS OF SOLIDS
This course focuses on elementary analysis of deformable solids subjected to force systems. Concepts covered include stress and strain (one-, two- and three-dimensional stress-strain relationships for the linear elastic solid); statically determinate and indeterminate axial force, torsion and bending members; stress transformations; pressure vessels; and combined loadings. There is also an introduction to column buckling.
Notes
Offered: spring of even year.
Course Outcomes
- Students should be able to demonstrate in homework, practice problems, and exams that they are able:
To set up problems in a methodical, solvable form making use of proper units.
To solve problems in a methodical manner with the appropriate significant figures.
To apply concepts of stress and strain to solve axial loading, bending, and torsion problems.
To develop the ability to design beams for bending.
To develop the ability to analyze shearing stresses in beams and thin-walled members.
To determine the deflection of beams.
To develop the ability to use energy methods with deflection problems.
