Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the properties of materials, such as: shrinkage, expansion, creep, tension, compression, shear, torsion, bending, fatigue, ductility, hardness, etc. Stresses, strains and deformations associated with torsion, axial, shear, moment, flexural loading of bars, shafts, beams and pressure vessel loadings. Other topics include: combined loadings and principle representations of the states of stress and strain at a point, basic failure criteria, an introduction to stability including buckling of columns, experimental determination of mechanical properties of concrete, asphalt and soils as required for engineering applications, experimental verification of assumptions made in the mechanics of materials procedures, use of strain measuring devices, introduction to experimental stress analysis, verification of analytical equations through strain gage measurements of axially, torsionally, and flexurally loaded specimens. The students will also learn about the preparation of technical reports.
