Course Description: Simple stress and strain. State of stress and strain with emphasis on two-dimensional problems. Axial loading and Hooke’s law. Torsion of circular shafts. Bending stresses in beams. Stress concentrations, plastic deformation, and residual stresses.
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.
