EG 420 - Solid Mechanics

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: EG 301 , EG 351 . Corequisite: EG 320 . A lecture and problem-solving course providing a theoretical and applied foundation for engineering mechanics treatment of deformable solid bodies; how external applied forces produce internal stress, deformations, or deflections; and whether these situations are stable or perpetrate one of several failure modes. Covers stress, strain, mechanical properties of materials, axial load, torsion, bending, transverse shear, combined loadings, stress transformation, design of beams and shafts, buckling failure theory, and an introduction to statically indeterminate methods.
