ENGT 3601 - Strength of Materials

Credits: 3

A comprehensive study of the concept of the stress-strain relationship and how this relates to the design of structural members. Emphasis will be on the stress distribution due to axial tension and compression, thermal, torsion, and transverse loading and their combinations. Course content will also include pure bending, transformations of stress, shear and bending moment diagrams, slope and deflection of beams by integration, and Euler’s formula for columns.

Prerequisite(s): ENGT 3101 or ENGR 2201, and MATH 2111
