ENGR 322 Mechanics of Materials
In mechanics of materials course equilibrium equations, material law equations, and the geometry of deformation are used to analyze the response of simple structural components. The analyzed components include rods subjected to axial loading, beams in bending, shafts loaded in torsion, thin-walled pressure vessels, slender columns susceptible to buckling etc. Principal stresses and the maximum shear stress are determined. Predominantly the linear elastic range of material behavior is studied. Laboratory sessions aim to verify theoretical knowledge and further develop students’ ability to acquire, analyze and interpret empirical data. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab weekly.
