Summer 2025 > Engineering/Engineering Technology > MECH.3110 > 011

Course No: MECH.3110-011; SIS Class Nbr: 1971; SIS Term: 3440
Course Status: Open

Course Description

Strength of materials principles are applied to the stress analysis of machine components and structures. The effects of buckling and combined bending, torsion, and axial loadings are studied together with the effects of stress risers due to geometrical complexities. Topics include: 3D stress transformations; principal stresses; Mohr's circle; failure criteria; torsion of non-circular and hollow cross sections; stress concentration factors; equilibrium and energy methods; global and local buckling; introduction to finite element methods.
