AE 201 - Strength of Materials4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is the study of stress and strain of elastic bodies. Areas covered are analysis of statically determinate beams; shear and moment equations and diagrams; flexural and shear stress; double integration method; and axial, torsional and thermal loads of statically indeterminate systems and columns. (prereq: AE 200 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Calculate stress and strain in components subject to axial, torsional, and flexural loadings including combined loadings
- Calculate stress and strain in composite beams
- Develop equations for the elastic curve of a beam
- Calculate stress and strain in thin-walled pressure vessels
- Identify principal stress magnitudes and directions, and demonstrate stress transformation with Mohr’s Circle
- Calculate elastic buckling loads for columns
