ENGR253 — Mechanics of Materials
3.0 HR. (TC) Prerequisite: ENGR 251 with a grade of C or better. This course is a study in the relationship between external loads, internal stresses, and deflections of deformable bodies within the context of engineering design principles. Topics include internal force, stress, strain and deflection of beams, shafts and columns; analytical methods for determining strength, stiffness and stability; strength and failure criteria in member design; indeterminate problems; transformations for multi-axial stress and strain states. Three lecture hours per week.
