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
  • Determine stresses in curved beams
