ENR-267 Strength of Materials

This course extends the equilibrium analysis covered in statics to deformable bodies, focusing on the behavior of various structural and machine components under different types of loading. Students will learn three fundamental concepts: Equilibrium, Force-Temperature-Deformation Behavior of Materials, and Geometry of Deformation. Topics include stress and strain analysis, 2D and 3D stress transformation, temperature stresses, and stress and deformation in bodies under axial, shearing, flexural, torsional, and combined loadings. Additional concepts covered are shear and bending moment diagrams, beam deflection, Euler’s columns, energy methods (including Castigliano’s theorem), failure theories, and column stability. The course emphasizes theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches, incorporating hands-on testing methods such as tensile tests and strain gauge measurements, as well as computational simulations using specialized software.
