MNE 462 - Experimental Stress Analysis

Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

Subject:

Mechanical Engineering

Description:

The course is divided into two major parts. The first part of the course deals with theory and practice of photo-elastic methods applied to classical experimental stress analysis of models and are modified for use in photoelastic coatings. Three-dimensional problems are studied and solved by the use of the digital computer. Emphasis is on the interpretation, limitations and designing by photo-elasticity. The second part of the course presents the theory and application of mechanical and electrical strain gauges, and brittle coatings, Installation, instrumentation and circuitry of gauge set-ups or transducer use in experimental stress analysis are discussed.
