ENGT 275 — Strength of Materials
This course provides engineering students with an understanding of various responses exhibited by solid engineering materials when subjected to mechanical and thermal loadings. It provides an introduction to the physical mechanisms associated with the design-limiting behavior of engineering materials, especially stiffness, strength, touchness, and durability. It also explores the basic mechanical properties of engineering materials, testing procedures used to quantify these properties, and ways in which these properties characterize material response. The student acquires quantitative skills to deal with materials-limiting problems in engineering design and a basis for materials selection in mechanical design. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week.
Prerequisites: ENGT 273
