ENGT 314 Applied Statics and Strength of Materials

5 CR

This course will develop an understanding of the basic principles of two categories of mechanics: Statics and Strength of Materials and will include strategies to analyze and solve problems related to Engineering Design. The two categories are broken out as follows: Statics: The study and analysis of forces and loading conditions applied to structures and mechanical devices. Strength of Materials: An introduction to methods used to determine internal stresses present in engineering components when subjected to various loading conditions. Topics include: simple stresses, centroids, moments of inertia, torsion, shear, bending stresses, stress concentration factors, equilibrium and energy methods, global and local buckling, introduction to finite element methods, and an introduction to composites.
Prerequisite(s): (PHYS& 114 OR PHYS& 221) with a C+ or higher and (MATH& 152 OR AMAT 313) with a C or higher and (BAS-ENGT program admission OR permission).
Completion Of or Concurrent Enrollment In: Completion of ENGT 311 with a C or higher OR concurrent enrollment in ENGT 311 OR Instructor permission.
