Course Description
A continuation of Strength of Materials. An introduction to elasticity, continuum mechanics, and 3-D stress transformations. Asymmetrical bending of beams, torsion of general cross-section bars, and energy methods are discussed.
Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Graduate students will be required to complete an additional
project comparing analytical predictions to predictions produced
using finite element analysis.
