ESC-213 Strength of Materials

A study of the basic concepts of strength of materials; stress and strain in external loading, shear and torsion; centroids and moments of inertia; shear, moment, and stress in beams; load, shear, and moment diagrams; design and deflection of beams (statically determinate and indeterminate); combined stresses; welded, bolted and riveted joints.

Course Learning Outcomes

1. Identify the fundamental modes of deformation: axial, torsional, bending.
2. Calculate stresses and strains caused by fundamental modes of deformation.
3. Apply methods of stress and strain analysis to solve the reaction forces in a statically indeterminate structure.
