Course Description
This course provides the engineering students with the means of analyzing and designing various structures and machines subjected to different loading conditions. Students develop the techniques of stress and strain analysis of the systems under axial, torsional, transverse loading and pure bending. It also includes the major topics of design of the beams, shafts and the columns. Analysis of systems using energy method, and deflection of beams by integration and moment-area methods are also introduced. PREREQUISITE: ENGR A280. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC. C-ID: ENGR 240.C-ID: ENGR 240.
Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)
- Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to analyze the structural system subjected to load or combination of loads and determine the applied load and the internal forces, torques and moments developed at a point or section.
- Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to calculate the stresses, strains and displacements of the structural members such as axial members, shafts, beams and columns subjected to external loads.
- Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to transform the stresses and strain using equations and Mohr’s circle to determine the maximum shearing and principle stresses and strain to design the structural members.
Course Objectives
