Mechanics of Materials 4 Units (AA/AS; CSU; UC) 72 lecture hours

Catalog description

Mechanics of deformable bodies that are subjected to loads such as tension, compression, bending, shearing and torsion. Subjects include combined stresses, strain, Mohr's Circle, statically indeterminate structures, deflection of beams, stability of columns and strain energy methods. Hooke's Law for isotropic materials and shear and moment diagrams will also be studied.
