EGR 380 - Mechanics of Deformable Bodies

Credit(s) 3.00
Lecture Hours: 3.00
This course provides an introduction to the mechanics of solids with application to engineering. The primary focus is stress and strain in structural elements resulting from axial, torsional, flexural, and combined loading. Other major concepts include mechanical material properties used to relate stress and strain in common machine elements, beam stresses and deflections, column buckling, and an introduction to energy methods.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of C- in EGR 180, MAT 210, and PHY 212.
SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Demonstrate an understanding of the stresses in structural elements based on external loading.
Demonstrate an understanding of strains and deformations in structural elements based on external loading.
Demonstrate an understanding of the mechanical material properties of common engineering materials.
Relate stress and strain in simple structural elements using mechanical material properties.
Evaluate the state of stress caused by various loading scenarios to determine critical stress components relative to failure criteria.
Relate realistic engineering problems to fundamental solid mechanics concepts.
Apply mechanics of materials principles to analyze and design engineering components and systems.
Use critical thinking and quantitative methods to analyze and solve problems.
