Structural Analysis

Catalog description

This course will provide a thorough understanding of beam structures under combined shear, bending and torsional loads. Topics include the study of semi-monocoque structure idealizations, effects of tapered and laminated structures, and torsion of multi-cell sections. Matrix methods are introduced and utilized throughout the course. The course has a project component that combines analytical and experimental methods. Students may receive credit for only this course or MCET-621 , not both.
