MEEG 3373 - Mechanics of Materials I

Three hours lecture. Three credit hours.

The concepts of infinitesimal stress and strain will be introduced, and stress-strain relations for isotropic materials will be developed. Axially loaded members, torsion of circular shafts, and bending of beams will be covered. Stress transformation and Mohr’s circle will be introduced. Advanced topics, including buckling in columns, pressure vessels, thermal stresses, and interference fits, will be introduced as time and interest permits. Applications of mathematics to engineering problems.

Prerequisites: MEEG 2370 or CNMG 27003 or equivalent.
