ME 10454 - Introduction to the Elastic Stability of Structures

Institution:

Rowan University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: ENGR 01291 and ENGR 01272 Many important structures (e.g. buildings, bridges, aircraft frames) have buckling as a primary mode of failure. Because of this, it is important for structrual engineers to have at least a cursory knowledge of elastic stability phenomena. This course will provide senior level Mechanical Engineering students with an overview of elastic stability in structures, and a brief introduction to dynamic stability, as applied to rotating shafts. Applications of mathematical theory to real-world structural design problems will be emplasized.
