MET225 Strength of Materials

  • Department Mechanical Engineering
  • Level Lower
  • Format Online
  • Credits 3

Description

Strength of Materials addresses the stresses that are formed in rigid bodies due to the application of forces and torques. These stresses are used to size and for material selection of rigid bodies. This course also covers the theory and supports the application of essential mechanics of materials principles. Topics include concept of stress and strain, mechanical properties of materials, generalized Hooke s law, axial load, torsion, bending, transverse shear, combined loadings, and transformation of stress and strain components.
