Course Description
Introduction to properties of materials (shrinkage, expansion, creep, tension, compression, shear, torsion, bending, fatigue, ductility, hardness, etc..). Stresses, strains, and deformations associated with torsion, axial, shear, moment, flexural loading of bars, shafts, beams. and pressure vessel loadings. Combined loadings and principle representations of the states of stress and strain at a point. Basic failure criteria. Introduction to stability including buckling of columns. Experimental determination of mechanical properties of concrete, asphalt, and soils as required for engineering applications. Experimental verification of assumptions made in mechanics of materials procedures. Use of strain measuring devices. Introduction to experimental stress analysis. Verification of analytical equations through strain gage measurements of axially, torsionally, and flexurally loaded specimens. Preparation of technical reports.
