ENGR& 225 - Mechanics of Materials

5.0 Credits
Introduction to the mechanics of solids, strain and deformation, and stress-strain relationships. Load-carrying capability of elements under tension, compression, torsion, bending, and shear forces. Prerequisite: ENGR& 214 and MATH& 152 each with a grade of 2.0 or higher.

Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Explain the fundamental concepts of mechanics (normal stress/strain, shear stress/strain, deformation), uniaxially loaded members, circular shafts in torsion, and symmetrical beams. [REASON]
Apply Mohr’s circle for transformations of stress and strain. [REASON]
Differentiate between ductile and brittle behavior in materials and apply appropriate safety and design considerations. [REASON]
Solve moment-curvature and differential equations for deflections of beams. [REASON]
