ENGR 2460 - Mechanics of Materials



Credit hours: 3

Course Description:
Stress-strain relationships under plane and 3-D deformations; Hooke’s Law, extension, bending, shear, torsion, and beam deflections; Castigliano’s theorem, column design and buckling, combined stresses, stress concentrations, and failure theories.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to:

  • Apply the basic laws of mathematics and science in determining the various stresses that may occur in a member.
  • Explain the concept of strain and the relationship between stress and strain including Hooke’s Law.
  • Apply the basic laws of mechanics to design beams based on maximum allowable stress and deflections
