CI 185 - Strength of Materials

Credit Hours: 3

A study of the laws governing the distribution of internal stresses and their accompanying deformations. Topics include fundamental stress and strain relationships; shear and bending moment diagrams; beam design; deflection of simple beams; stresses due to eccentrically applied loads; column design and combined stresses.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

calculate stresses and deformations of objects under external loads;
develop shear and moment diagrams; and
apply the knowledge of the strength of materials to engineering applications and design problems.
