MECH 1235 - Statics and Strengths of Materials

4 Credit(s) 3 credits lecture/1 credit lab

Analysis of forces on structural and mechanical systems is introduced; topics included resultants of force systems, algebraic and graphical conditions of equilibrium of force systems, and analysis of forces acting on structural frameworks. Coverage of strengths includes the mechanical and physical properties of materials such as stress, strain, and modulus of elasticity appropriate to mechanical design problems. Applications include the analysis and design of structural joints, beams, and columns.
