ME 213 - Strength of Materials

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

The analysis of tensile and compressive plane stress, shear stress and bearing stress. The compounding of plain and shear stresses in rectilinear coordinates. Rotation of a system of stresses about a single axis leading to equations for the zero sums of forces and moments along and about the remaining principle axis. (Equilibrium). Production of equations for the maximum and minimum principle stresses, maximum shear stress and the principle planes to which these are normal and tangential respectively. Formation of Mohr's circle as a graphical means of analysis. Use of the von Mises criterion. Examination of shear stress and angle of rotation due to torsion. Examination of tensile, compressive and shear stresses due to bending production of shear stress and bending moment diagrams. Formation of the equation of the elastic line and its use in determination of displacement and rotation at a point along beams with concentrated and distributed loads and with simple and fixed supports. Beams with more than two supports. The stability of columns. Stress and displacement of thin wall and thick wall cylinders under internal pressure. The study of shrink fits. Prerequisites: ME 101, MATH 210. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Determine levels of plane stress and shear stress and associated displacements of objects subject to a variety of loading situations. (2) Determine levels of stress and displacement arising from constrained thermal expansion. (3) Determine shear stress and rotation of cylindrical objects subject to torsion. (4) Determine levels of plane stress and shear stress in prismatic objects subject to bending. (5) Determine displacement and rotation at any point along a beam that is subject to concentrated and/or distributed loads and has simple or fixed support. (6) Draw shear force and bending moment diagrams. (7) Determine principle stress for a compound stress situation and use the von Mises criterion for the stress to be used in analysis aimed at avoiding failure. (8) Design stable columnar structures. (9) Design for shrink fits.
