MECH 201 STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

Internal forces, stresses. Strains. Stress-strain relationship. Statically indeterminate problems. Temperature effects. Shear deformation. Stress and strain distribution. Torsion. Pure bending. Asymmetric bending. Transverse loading. Transformation of stress and strain. Stresses under combined loading. Mohr circle. Stresses and deflections in beams. Energy methods.

Laboratory exercises: experimental strength of materials; brittle tough failure; failure of metal in elongation; failure of concrete in compression; failure of metal in torsion; 3-point bending experiment.
