ME 860 - Advanced Mechanics3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course re-examines basic strength of materials and explores how it is extended for analyses of situations having complicated geometries, loading and stress distributions. Topics include development of approximate solutions using energy methods, the concepts of finite element analysis and applications of planar theory of elasticity. (prereq: undergraduate calculus through differential equations, ME 207 or equivalent)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Understand deformation and stress measures
- Ability to solve boundary value problems involving deformable solids
- Understand the basis for numerical methods in sold mechanics
- Idealize a system or component for stress analysis
- Use appropriate numerical and analytical means to model the system, interpret the results and draw conclusions
- Present results orally and in writing
