MAE 231 - Strength of Materials

Analyzes the basic concepts of mechanics of deformable solids; systems of forces and couples; equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; internal forces and analysis of structures: trusses, frames, machines, and beams; distributed forces; centroids and moments of inertia; and an introduction to stress, strain, constitutive relations, bending of beams, torsion, shearing, deflection of beams, column buckling, fatigue, and failure theory. Four lectures plus one workshop. Cross-listed as CE 231. (Y)
