MT 205 - Strength of Materials4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits Course Description This subject is concerned with the behavior of materials and structures under load. Topics of study include simple stress and strain; torsion; shear and bending moment; corresponding stresses in beam, beam deflection, combined stresses, Mohr’s Circle; and column theory. (prereq: MT 200 ) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Determine stresses resulting from axial, bending, torsion, and transverse loading
- Apply Hooke’s Law for materials with linear stress-strain behavior
- Construct shear and bending moment diagrams for statically determinate structures
- Determine the stress state in a member resulting from combinations of loads
- Know how to find principal stresses for a state of plane stress
- Determine beam deflections by superposition method
- Be familiar with the Euler buckling load for columns of various end conditions
