Course Description: Concept and types of stress and strain, stress and strain diagram and material properties. Axially loaded
members: deflection, statically indeterminate structures, temperature effects, stress concentration, stresses
on inclined planes. Torsion: torsion formula, pure shear transmission of power, statically indeterminate.
Shear force and bending moment: relationships between load, shear force, and bending moments, shear
and bending diagram. Analysis of stress and strain: principal stresses and maximum shear stresses,
combined loadings, and Mohr's circle. Deflections of beams: integration, and superposition. Columns stress
analysis.

Goals/Objectives:
This is the first course in stress analysis and simple design. It will give students a solid foundation to analyze and solve
stress and deformation problems in metals and to use published strengths to design single elements.
Calculus Usage: Basic differentiation and Library Materials handbooks and standard
integration of polynomials and Usage: methods references
powers.
Grading Scale The course is 12 weeks in duration and consists of four lecture hours per week. For each class,
we will have a quiz, followed by a review (min lecture) of important concepts, practice problems
and problems solving packet. Quiz and problems solving packet may be individual or in group.
Homework will be collected as indicated in class. Two tests will be given during the semester and
a final exam will be given during the final exam week. Plus/minus points will be issued at the
discretion of the instructor.

All work products must be characterized by academic honesty and professional integrity. You are
responsible for appropriate citation of your primary and secondary sources, and for respect of others'
work products (including other students work). Plagiarism will result in zero for the work and may result
in failure of the course. In other words, develop and physically make every entry into every electronic file
and written paper you claim as your individual work.
