Overview
Description
This course studies the performance of structures and mechanical systems. Basic concepts such as stress, strain and mechanical properties are covered in order to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of a system.LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Calculate stresses and strains in structural elements subjected to simple/combined loadings.
- Identify critical sections in structural elements subjected to combined loadings.
- Compute deflections in beams and shafts.
- Introduction, FBD, equilibrium equations
- Normal and shear stresses (Average)
- Normal and shear strains
- Mechanical properties
- Axial loading
- Torsion
- Bending
- Shear
- Combined loadings
- Stress and strain transformation
- Deflection
- Buckling of columns
