- ME 306 Strength of Materials II
TEXT: |
Beer &
Johnston, 3rd edition: Mechanics of Materials
|
COURSE
OBJECTIVES: |
1. |
Apply
Mohr's Circle to obtain the maximum normal and shear stresses
and their orientation on the structural member. A computer
program will be written as a tool to apply this technique to
generalized stress problems. |
2. |
Design
beams which meet the strength and stiffness requirements of the
applications. |
3. |
Apply
several methods for determining the shear and moment values
along a beam and the resultant deflection and curvature.
Both statically determinate and indeterminate beams are
addressed. |
4. |
Compare
the buckling load for columns with various end conditions. |
5. |
Students
will improve their problem solving skills. |
6. |
Students
will improve their communication skills through group study,
group project reports, and home work in class presentations. |
7. |
Students
will improve their computer programming skills. |
8. |
Students
will be encouraged to participate in team work. |
