Prerequisites: 2113 or AME 2113 or PE 2113. Basic principles of mechanics, including the definition of stress and strain, transformations and principal values for the stress and strain tensors, kinematic relations, review of conservation equations and the development and application of constitutive laws for idealized materials. Elementary elastostatics utilizing Hooke's law; constitutive relations for a linear-elastic continuum, including elastic parameters such as Young's modulus, shear and bulk moduli and Poisson's ratio. Solution of elementary one- and two-dimensional mechanics problems, including thermal stresses and strains, beam flexure, shear and deflections, pressure vessels and buckling of columns. (Sp)
