ENG 240 Mechanics of Materials 4 credits

This course is an engineering study of mechanics of deformable bodies and strength of materials. The course includes analysis of the elastic and inelastic relationships between external forces acting on engineering structures and the stresses and deformations produced; influences of material properties are also considered. Tension and compression members, members subjected to torsion and bending, buckling (columns) combined stresses, repeated loads (fatigue) and energy loads and impact are also addressed. 11 (4 lecture hours) IAI: ENG 945
