Principles of applied strength of materials-Torsion: STRENGTH OF MATERIALS MET 21100 Lab
This course covers principles of applied strength of materials primarily with reference to stress-strain relationships, shear and bending moment diagrams, stresses and deflections of beams, axial loads, and other applied problems in the field of structural/mechanical design. This will include the use of computers to perform simulations and solve design problems. This course satisfies ABET criteria 3a, 3b, 3f, and 3k.
Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of Strength of Materials and describe its function in the field.
- Understand and be able to solve problems related to “Torsion”, “Bending”, “Transverse Shear”, and “Combined Loading”.
- Show understanding of “Stress and Strain Transformation” and be able to perform basic beam design.
- Demonstrate proficiency in determination of Combined Stresses, including eccentrically loaded members.
- Conduct experiments involving equipment compliant with industry standards and perform calculations on experimental results to assist in analyzing data.
- Draw conclusions concerning material behavior under various testing and/or loading conditions and prepare lab reports using a structured approach.
