Course Status: Compulsory

MCEng1091, Fundamentals of Structural Engineering Theories . Lecture: 3hr Objective: Develop and apply various analytical methods for determining the mechanical behavior of solid bodies (for example: stress, strain, strength, stiffness, deflection, and stability) subjected to various types of loading which include: axial loading, bending, shear, torsion, or a combination. Outcome: Students will be able to: Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering dealing with mechanics of materials under axial loading, torsion, bending, and combined loading. Draw axial force, torque, shear and moment diagrams of simple members subject to combined loading. Compute stresses and strains in simple members subject to axial loading, torsion, bending, and combined loading. Compute deflection of beams. Compute buckling load of compressive members. Design components to meet desired needs in terms of strength and deflection. Develop and apply various analytical methods for determining the mechanical behavior of solid bodies (for example: stress, strain, strength, stiffness, deflection and stability) subjected to various types of loading which include: axial loading, bending, shear, torsion, or a combination. This course introduces the properties and strength of materials i.e. Flexure, Shear, Torsion, Compound analysis well as Buckling of i.e. Flexure, This course introduces the Stress properties and as strength of materials Compression Members. Shear, Torsion, Compound Stress analysis as well as Buckling of Compression Members. ECTS Credits: 6hr Tutorial: 3hr
