ESM 2204: Mech of Deform Bodies

Fall 2009
Index: 92870

Section: M WF 1:25 pm - 2:15 pm
Instructor: Harold

Course objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, students shall be able to:

• Calculate stress (normal and shear) in a structure or machine component loaded in various ways
• Use stress concentration factors to find stresses in, or allowable loads on, axially loaded members
• Calculate normal and shearing strains/deformations for bodies subjected to loads and/or temperature changes
• Design members using criteria based on strength and/or deformation
• Solve statically indeterminate problems subjected to one or a combination of axial, torsion and bending loads
• Apply Hooke's Law in one, two, and three dimensions
• Determine stresses and/or deformations in a circular member subjected to torsional loading
• Draw shear and moment diagrams for beams subjected to some combination of concentrated loads, distributed loads, and concentrated moments
• Calculate normal and shearing stresses in beams
• Calculate stresses in thin-walled pressure vessels
• Solve problems using stress transformation equations and Mohr's circle
• Determine the deflections of statically determinate and indeterminate beams using double integration and superposition
• Apply Euler's equation to solve buckling problems for various end conditions.

Prerequisites:
This course requires a working knowledge of forces, moments, equilibrium and free-body diagrams. These materials are covered in 2104.
