Learning Outcomes

At the completion of the course students will be able to:

Understand the definitions and concepts of deformation, strains, and stress.
Understand the concepts of statically determinate and statically indeterminate systems
Be able to analyze normal stress, normal strain, and elongation/compression under axial loading, either for statically determinate and indeterminate axial members
Be able to analyze shear stress and shear strains under shear loading
Be able to analyze bending stress ,bending strain, and transverse displacement for beam bending loading
Be able to analyze shear stress, shear strain, and angle of twist under torsional loading, either for statically determinate and indeterminate circular members
Understand the principle of superposition for combined loading.
Be able to determine principal stress/strain and maximum shear stress using stress/strain transformation techniques such as Mohr’s circle
Understand failure criteria and be able to apply them to the multi-axial state of stresses
Understand how to apply the strength of materials knowledge to a real world problem.
