EGR-2200 - Mechanics of Materials* (3)

Prerequisite: EGR-1210
Topics include the study of deformation and stress resulting from external loads acting on statically determinate and indeterminate structural members, generalized Hooke’s law, analysis of plane stress and the resulting state of strain, thermal effects, and stability of columns.

List Course Outcomes (consistent for all sections)
CO1 - Define and determine normal stresses/strains and shear stresses/strains, proportional limit, elastic limit, yield strength, ultimate strength, modulus of elasticity, and Hooke’s Law.

CO2 - Calculate shear stress distribution in solid and hollow round members under torsional loading conditions, using these results to design power transmission shafts.

CO3 - Calculate angle of twist under torsional loading for determining the rigidity of the shaft.

CO4 - Determine shear and bending moment diagrams for variously loaded and supported beams, using these results to compute maximum bending stress and shear stress along a beam.

CO5 - Determine the maximum deflection of beams using the method of superposition.

CO6 - Design beams based on allowable shear and normal stresses and/or maximum allowable deflection.

CO7 - Determine principal stresses, principal planes and maximum shear stress under various combinations of bending, torsion and axial loads on machine and structural parts.

CO8 - Apply the Euler Equation to calculate axial buckling load for long straight columns of varying end conditions and materials.
