MECHANICS OF MATERIALS (2 Credits)

Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this course, student will be able to: Calculate design normal stress and shear stress of a members subjected to an axial load or direct shear; Draw the stress and strain diagram for a specific material structures and then define proportional limit, elastic limit, yield strength, ultimate strength, modulus of elasticity, and Hooke’s Law; Analyze to a members subjected to axial, bending, shear and torsional loads; Calculate the principal stresses, principal planes and maximum shear stress when the material is subjected to both plane and three-dimensional states of stress; Calculate the maximum deflection on statically determinate beams, using the method of superposition.
