ENGR& 225 - Mechanics of Materials

1. Explain the fundamental concepts of mechanics (normal stress/strain, shear stress/strain, deformation), uniaxially loaded members, circular shafts in torsion, and symmetrical beams.
2. Apply Mohr’s circle for transformations of stress and strain.
3. Differentiate between ductile and brittle behavior in materials and apply appropriate safety and design considerations.
4. Solve moment-curvature and differential equations for deflections of beams.
5. Collaborate with team members to design, model, build, and evaluate a structure that includes elastic deformation.
