Title
Stresses
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to calculate and transform axial stress (e.g., Mohr's Circle), shear stress, bearing stress, thermal stress, bending stress, and combined stress.
Title
Strains
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to calculate strain, transform strain (e.g. Mohr's Circle), apply stress-strain relations (e.g., Hooke's Law), and solve statically indeterminate problems.
Title
Deflections
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to analyze deflections due to axial, torsion, bending, and shear loads, and manipulate relations between shear and bending moment.
Title
Beam/Column Design
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to design beams and columns to carry specified axial, flexure, and shear loads, and predict their deformation and elastic stability (i.e., buckling).
Title
Pressure Vessels
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to predict stresses in pressure vessels.
