ME 2191 - Mechanics of Materials (3)

Introduction to stress and strain. Hooke’s law and stress-strain diagrams. Normal and shearing stresses and strains developed in axial, torsional and flexural loadings; stresses and strains in axial, torsional and flexural loading of composite members. Stress transformation, principal stresses and strains and Mohr’s circle; stress concentrations; stresses in shafts during power transmission and shaft design; deflection and slope of beams by double integration, singularity functions, and superposition; statically indeterminate members under axial, torsional and bending loads. Thin-walled pressure vessels. Stresses under combined loadings.
