Course Description
This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of the behavior of materials under loading as well as specific structural analysis tools for design including stress, strain and deflection calculations. Loadings involving axial, torsional, bending and shear will be dealt with by formulating and calculating the corresponding stresses and deformations. The course basically focuses on relating loading, material properties and geometry for machine members. Factor of safety, allowable stress and strength relationships for different loading conditions shall be covered. Students will do this by building on the knowledge gained through statics and thus gain the necessary knowledge and skills to proceed in Mechanical Engineering courses in structural design and analysis.
