Course Description

This course covers the behavior of materials when subjected to different loadings and constraints. Topics include stress, strain, material properties, properties of cross sectional areas, bending and buckling of members, beam and column analysis, torsion, and combined loading. The course emphasizes predicting material behavior in various mechanical applications and utilizing fundamental analysis techniques to determine stress in solids under tension, compression, torsion, and/or shear. The course includes hands-on laboratory exercises such as evaluating beam deflection and the thermal expansion of various metals.
