Course Description: Simple stress and strains. Equilibrium, compatibility, and constitutive relations. State of stress and state of strain with emphasis on two dimensional problems. Bending and shear stresses. Deflection of beams. Torsion of circular shafts. Combined stresses. Buckling of columns.
Course Objectives: Introduce concepts of strength, deformation, stress and strain for deformable bodies subjected to various loading conditions: axial loads, bending and torsion. Discuss failure criteria for various materials and components, and illustrate the application of failure criteria to the design process.
