ENGR 371 - Advanced Strength of Materials

Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0
When Offered: Spring

Concepts of stress, strain, and material behavior. Three-dimensional analysis of forces, stresses, strains, and deformation of beams, shafts, cylinders, thin-walled structures, pressure vessels, plates under complex loading, and real-world case studies. Topics include the theory of elasticity, free body diagram, equation of equilibrium, compatibility equations, variation of stress within a body, stress transformation, Mohr’s circles in three dimensions, strength and failure, elastic and plastic behavior, thermoelastic behavior of materials, strain gauges, and introduction to strain Energy.
