ENES220 Course Syllabus

Course Outcomes

Upon course completion, a student will be able to:

  • Define basic concepts of stress, strain and their relations based on linear elasticity
  • Analyze material behaviors due to different types of loading.
  • Calculate stresses and deformations of a bar due to an axial loading under uniform and non-uniform condition.
  • Compute stresses and deformation of a torsional bar
  • Draw shear-moment diagram of a beam and find the maximum/shear and their locations
  • Calculate normal and shear stresses on any cross-section of a beam.
  • Construct and apply Mohr’s circle to find the principal stresses, maximum shear, corresponded angles and stresses in any inclined plane.
  • Define stresses on a structure under combined loading.
  • Solve the deflection of a beam under combined loads by using method of moment-area and superpositions.
  • Explain stability and buckling phenomena for a slender member under an axial compressive force.
