ME 3005 - Mechanics of Materials II

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits

Course Description
This course continues the study of mechanics of deformable bodies. Topics include thermal stress and strain, thin and thick walled pressure vessels, three dimensional stresses, ductile and brittle material failure theories, fluctuationing stresses, and fatigue. Laboratory topics include experiments to reinforce stress/strain behaviors covered in ME 2004 and this course. (prereq: ME 207 or ME 2004)

Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Determine column buckling loads
Determine principal stresses in 3D state of stress
Analyze members subject to temperature change
Determine stresses in thick and thin-walled pressure vessels
Use failure theories under static loading
Use fatigues failure criteria for members subject to fluctuating loads
Apply enery method and solve for deflection of curved members
Determine stresses in circular plates
Become familiar with unsymmetric bending in cured beams
