MECH 3300 - Strength of Materials

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

Fundamentals of strength of materials required for Mechanical Engineering majors. Students learn to analyze stress, strain, and deflection in deformable bodies through lecture and laboratory experiments. Topics include: stress and strain, mechanical properties of materials, axial loading, torsion, bending, transverse shear, combined loadings, stress and strain transformations, deflection in beams and shafts, column buckling, and energy methods. Inclusive Access Course Material (electronic book) fees may apply, see Fees tab under each course section for details. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Analyze stress, strain, and deflection in deformable bodies subject to mechanical loading such as axial, torsional, bending and/or transverse shear. 2. Describe modes of failure in deformable bodies and behavior of various materials subject to stress loading and unloading. 3. Predict failure in deformable bodies using failure criteria and stress and strain transformations. 4. Design mechanical components, such as beams, columns, and pressure vessels, to withstand failure due to static mechanical loading. Prerequisites: MECH 2010 (Grade C- or higher).
