ENGR& 225 - Mechanics of Materials

4 CR

Introduces the concepts of stress, deformation, and strain in solid materials. Topics include basic relationships between loads on structural and machine elements such as rods, shafts, and beams, and the stresses, deflection and load-carrying capacity of these elements under tension, compression, torsion, bending, and shear forces.

Prerequisite(s): ENGR 214.

Course Outcomes
Perform a material analysis of an engineering structure under load:

determining the types/mode of stresses generated;
computing material deformations/distortions;
locating heavily stressed areas;
evaluating material behavior with respect to theories of elastic failure.

GenEd Outcomes: Creative and Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking/Problem Solving
Quantitative/Symbolic Reasoning
