EGR 264 Strength of Materials

Spring

Students in Strength of Materials learn to calculate the stresses and deformations in beams, shafts, and other mechanical and structural components. Students apply this knowledge to design of members subject to combined loading from axial, torsional, and bending. Stress transformation, principal stresses, Mohr’s circle and strain transformation are covered. Indeterminate analysis for axial, bending, and torsion are introduced as well as inelastic behavior. Prerequisite: EGR 250. Corequisite: EGR 265.
