CIV229 — Mechanics of Materials
With an introduction to engineering materials and their mechanical properties, examines strains that occur in elastic bodies subjected to direct and combined stresses, shear and bending moment diagrams, deflections of beams, and stresses due to torsion. Lab testing involves various materials such as cast iron, steel, brass, aluminum, and wood to determine their physical properties and to demonstrate various testing techniques. [Fall offering] 3 lecture/3 laboratory hours
