EGR 3060 MECHANICS OF SOLIDS

This course focuses on elementary analysis of deformable solids subjected to force systems. Concepts covered include stress and strain (one-, two- and three-dimensional stress-strain relationships for the linear elastic solid); statically determinate and indeterminate axial force, torsion and bending members; stress transformations; pressure vessels; and combined loadings. There is also an introduction to column buckling.

Course Outcomes

  1. Students should be able to demonstrate in homework, practice problems, and exams that they are able:
     To set up problems in a methodical, solvable form making use of proper units.
     To solve problems in a methodical manner with the appropriate significant figures.
     To apply concepts of stress and strain to solve axial loading, bending, and torsion problems.
     To develop the ability to design beams for bending.
     To develop the ability to analyze shearing stresses in beams and thin-walled members.
     To determine the deflection of beams.
     To develop the ability to use energy methods with deflection problems.
