EGR 217 Strength of Materials
This course introduces mechanical properties and stresses caused by applied forces that will be mathematically described to enable the selection of materials appropriate to a specific application. Emphasis is on brittle and ductile materials in the linear elastic region. Normal and shear stresses and strains caused by axial loading, thermal effects, torque, bending moment and shear forces, internal pressure in thin-walled vessels, and combined loadings. Also included are: Stress transformations and maximum (in-plane) normal and shear stress, beam design and deflection calculations, and column buckling.
