GEE231 Introduction to Mechanics of Materials

This course introduces the student to the fundamentals of mechanics of materials. The main topics include a review of statics: stress and strain, elasticity, superposition, and indeterminacy. The mechanics of axial loading, direct shear, and torsion of circular members are examined to determine resultant stresses, strains, and deflections. Flexural members are examined to find stresses in beams. Emphasis throughout the course is placed on the determination and use of axial force, torque force, shear force, and bending moment diagrams. The course culminates with a look at combined loading and the evaluation of principal stresses. At the end of the course, the student will be able to solve fundamental problems in Mechanics of Materials. The student should also have an appreciation of the limitations of the techniques employed and a rudimentary appreciation for the uncertainty of material properties.
