MEC 363 - Mechanics of Solids
Stress and deformation of engineering structures and the influence of the mechanical behavior of materials. Concepts of stress and strain, constitutive relations, analysis of statically indeterminate systems, study of simple bars and beams, and stability conditions. Emphasis on force equilibrium, elastic response of materials, geometric compatibility, Mohr’s circle, stresses and deflections in beams, and torsion and buckling of rods. Design for bending, shear, and combined states of stress.
3 credits
Prerequisite(s): A grade of “C” or better in MEC 260 or BME 260
