Applied Strength Of Materials

Catalog description

This course covers principles of applied strength of materials primarily with reference to stress-strain relationships, shear and bending moment diagrams, stresses and deflections of beams, axial loads, and other applied problems in the field of structural/mechanical design. This will include the use of computers to perform simulations and solve design problems. Typically offered Fall Spring. Prerequisite(s): MET 11800 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN.
