ES A331 — Mechanics of Materials 3 Credits
Introduces the concepts of stress and strain. Relate stresses and strains by modeling material behavior. Analyze and design axially loaded members, torsional shafts, transversely loaded beams, thin-walled pressure vessels, and axially loaded columns, relating loads and displacements with stresses and strains. Analyze a general state of stress and strain, including the special cases of plane stress and plane strain.
