Catalog Description

Simple stress and strain. Equilibrium, compatibility and constitutive relations. State of stress and state of strain with emphasis on two dimensional problems. Bending and shear stresses. Deflection of beams. Torsion of circular shafts. Combined stresses. Buckling of columns.

Course Objectives

Mechanics is the physical science that deals with the effects of forces on objects. Mechanics can be divided into three main branches: rigid-body mechanics, deformable-body mechanics, and fluid mechanics. This course is an introductory level course on deformable-body mechanics.The objective of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts and principles employed by engineers - whether civil, mechanical, aeronautical, etc. - in the design of structures of all sorts, sizes and purpose.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1.Use theoretical knowledge of deformable body mechanics,

2.Analyze stresses under combined loading,

3.Calculate principal stresses and strains,

4.Solve indeterminate problems by using compatibility conditions,

5.Calculate displacements of 1d determinate/indeterminate elastic structural members,

6.Conduct laboratory experiments on structural members subjected to axial, flexural, and torsional loadings to observe stress–strain behavior and deflection characteristics.
