EGR 2120 — Mechanics of Materials
This is a first course in solid-body mechanics. Topics include concepts of stress and strain; material properties (elastic and plastic); torsion: shear stresses and deformations; thermal stresses; thin-walled pressure vessels; pure bending: stresses and strains; transverse loading of beams: shear stress and combined loadings; transformation of stress and strain (Mohr's Circle); design of beams and shafts for strength: shear and moment diagrams; deflection of beams; energy methods; and columns. Lecture.
