AME 3320 : Mechanics of materials II

Introduction to design: design process, problem formulation, engineering model, factors of safety and codes, overall design considerations; Stresses: stress concentration factors, residual stresses; Deflection and Stiffness; Stability and Buckling; Theories of failure: failure under static loading, fatigue loading; fracture mechanics. Experiments and tests on, thin and thick cylinders; deflection; strain measuring gauges and applications; buckling; torsion, stress and strain measurements, materials testing and mechanical properties; and photoelasticity.
