Learning Outcomes

At the completion of the course students will be able to: Analyze asymmetric bending problems. Determine the shear center for decoupling of bending and torsion. Analyze the bending stress in curved beams. Analyze the deformation and stresses for beams on elastic foundation. Analyze stresses in non-circular open or closed thin-walled cross-section subject to torsion. Apply energy methods for statically determinate as well as indeterminate structures. Analyze the buckling load. Simplify a complex problem into a simpler one.
