• Applied Strength of Materials

Catalog description

How the fundamental concepts of stress, strain, and deformation associated with mechanical loading are used in mechanical design. Topics include: axial tensile and compressive effects, torsion, and bending; stress-strain relationships, safety factor, beam deflection methods, buckling, failure prevention theories for ductile and brittle materials, fatigue-life methods and fatigue failure criteria. Prerequisites: ENR 265 ; ENR 304 (may be taken concurrently); ENR 308 ; MAT 223 . Corequisites: Concurrent enrollment in ENR 357 is required. Offered: Fall, odd # years.
