Course Content

Introduction to the concept of stress and strain Normal and shear stresses due to axial loading, bending and transverse loading. Torsion of circular cross-sections. Stress concentrations. Analysis of linearly elastic problems Transformations of stress and strain in plane-stress and plane-strain problems. Design of beams for strength. Deflection of beams.
Prerequisite:AEE 261 or consent of the department.


Course Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to:

  • compute stresses in structural members subjected to axial loads, torsion and bending moments
  • draw Mohr's circle and perform stress transformations
  • compute deflections of beams
