ENGT 314 Applied Strength of Materials

This course examines both the theory and experimental techniques common in materials engineering with analysis of the relationship between externally applied forces and internal reactions in materials. Topics covered include strength, deformation, fracture, creep, stress-strain relations, and cyclic fatigue properties of engineering materials, such as wood, metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics. Additional topics may include the design and analysis of mechanical components subject to static and fatigue loading conditions, deformation, and buckling. Emphasis will be placed on interpretation of experimental data, comparison of measurements to numerical/analytical predictions, finite element analysis, and engineering report writing. The course includes a laboratory component.
Prerequisite(s): (PHYS 114 or PHYS 221 ) with a C+ or better and ENGT 301 , AMAT 301 , ENGT 313 , and AMAT 313 all with a C or better.
Corequisite(s): AMAT 314
