ES 224, Strength of Materials

Textbook: Beer, F. P., and Johnston, E.R.,Jr., Mechanics of Materials, SI metric edition, McGraw-Hill.

Goals: This course is designed to give the basic concepts in engineering design and analysis to engineering students from different disciplines.

Prerequisites by topic:

1. Basic Calculus

2. Statics

Prerequisite Course: ES 221

Topics:

1. Concept of stress: normal stress, shearing stress, bearing stress and stresses on an oblique plane under axial loading; stress under general loading conditions, ultimate and allowable stress; factor of safety.

2. Concept of strain: normal strain under axial loading, stress-starin diagram, Hooke's law, deformation of members under axial loading, statically indeterminate problems, problems involving temperature changes, multiaxial loading, generalized Hooke's law, shearing strain.

3. Torsion: stresses and angle of twist in the elastic range, statically indeterminate shafts.

4. Pure bending: stresses and deformations in the elastic range, bending of members made of several materials, eccentric axial loading, unsymmetric bending.

5. Transverse loading: shear stress on a horizontal plane, shearing stresses in beams, shearing stresses in thin-walled members, stresses under combined loading.

6. Transformation of Stress: Principal Stresses and Maximum Shearing Stress, Mohr's Circle for Plane Stress, Stresses in Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels.

7. Deflection: elastic curve by integration, statically indeterminate beams.
