ENGR 2085 - Deformable Body Mechanics

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture 3 Lab 0
Course Description: This course examines the internal effects and deformations that are caused by applied loads on a body. Topics include stress and strain, Mohr’s circle, material behavior and linear elasticity, uniaxial loading/deformation, shafts in torsion, internal forces in beams, shear and moment diagrams, stress and strain transformation, statically indeterminate structures, and design of shafts and beams.
