ENGR 216 - Mechanics of Materials

3 hours
Introduction to relationship between internal stresses and deformations produced by external forces acting on simple elastic structures; normal and shear stresses and deformations produced by tensile, compressive, torsional, and bending loading of members; principle stresses and Mohr’s circle; states of stress and failure; deflection of beams; elastic strain energy and impact loading; analysis of composites; stability and buckling of columns. Offered every spring. Prerequisite(s): ENGR 213. UG
