ENGR 2540 - Intro to Statics and Strengths of Materials

Institution:

Central Lakes College

Subject:

Description:

Credits: 3 Prerequisite: MATH 1470 and PHYS 1401, or instructor's approval This course deals with structures in equilibrium, that is structures at rest. The course develops the equations of equilibrium and applies them to the analysis of simple engineering structures and machines. Specific subjects include equilibrium of trusses, frames and machines, the analysis of frictional forces and topics relating to the center of gravity and mass moments of inertia. Mechanics of deformable bodies when subjected to axial, torsional, pure bending, and transverse loadings is covered. Students study the transformation of stress under planar rotation and learn how to determine the principle axes for stress through the use of Mohr's Circle. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): none
