ENR 204 - Mechanics of Materials

Credits: 4
Lecture Hours: 4
Lab Hours: 0
A first engineering-level course in the mechanics of materials. The major emphasis is on how materials react in the elastic range of stress before permanent deformation takes place. Computer analysis is included where appropriate. Topics include the basic concepts of stress and strain, properties of various materials, working stress, factors of safety; torsional and flexural stresses; analysis of beams and columns, combined stresses, and welded, bolted and riveted connections. Both English and SI units are used.
