Homework:
-
Due once per week
(listed in syllabus)
-
Work with others is
encouraged, but turn in your own homework efforts (no copying)
-
No late homework and
Lab report will be accepted
-
All problems in each
assignment should be completed
-
Selected problems
will be graded
-
Late homework will
receive NO credit
Solutions to the
assignments will be posted in a notebook in the library |

How to Succeed
-
Accept that it is
your responsibility to learn the material (in spite of the book or
teacher)
-
Show up and become
engaged with the topics
-
Do the homework daily
so you can ask questions in class
Use you resources
for help (classmates, upperclassmen, faculty, the library)
|
|
Goals:
Conceptual
-
To be able to look at
a loaded beam, shaft, or tension member and approximate (by inspection)
the likely locations of highest stress
-
Understand that local
stresses near concentrated loads will be significantly different than far
field stresses away from the loading site
Know what tools to
bring to bear to solve a problem and know where to find the needed resources
|
|
Specific
-
Understand
definitions of stress and strain
-
Understand the
elastic behavior of materials (Hooke’s Law)
-
Distinguish between
applied stress and material strength and apply factors of safety
-
Determine axial
stress at a point given multiple axial loads and uniform or stepped
geometry
-
Determine bending and
shear stress at a point in a uniform cross-section beam with both
distributed and concentrated loads
-
Determine deflections
of the above beam
-
Determine bending and
torsional stresses in a circular cross-section beam with both concentrated
loads and torques
-
Determine deflections
of the above shaft
Determine the
principal stresses and strains from the known stresses at a point
