ENGS 222 - Principles of Engineering Materials

Course Description
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of mechanics of materials: stress and strain, Hooke's Law and material behavior. Topics include axial loading, torsional loading, flexural loading of beams, buckling of columns, statically indeterminate problems, principal stresses and strains.

Course Objectives
•  Understanding of the concepts of average stress and strain, and general states of stress and strain at a point, stress and strain relationships, and Hooke's Law [1,2].
•  Ability to calculate stresses and deformations in members subjected to axial loads [1,2,4].
•  Ability to calculate stresses and deformations in members subjected to torsional loads [1,2,4].
•  Ability to calculate stresses and deflections in beams under flexural loading [1,2,4].
•  Ability to calculate stresses and strains in pressure vessels [1,2,4].
•  Ability to calculate stresses under combined loading [1,2,4].
•  Understanding of the concept of Euler buckling of long thin columns [1,2,4].
•  Understanding of the concepts of stress and strain transformation and principle stresses and strains [1,2,4].
•  Physical and mathematical principles underlying the concepts presented [1,2].
•  How to present work in a clear, concise, logical and professional manner [5].
