MIM 1356: Strength of Materials II (Spring 1998)
Northeastern University
Department of Mechanical, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering
Coordinator: Professor G.G. Adams, 617-373-3826, 203 Snell Engineering Center
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisite: MIM 1355
There are 3 classroom meetings per week.
 
Catalogue Course Description:
Covers asymmetric bending, analysis of determinate and indeterminate beams by various methods, and buckling of columns.
 
Goals and Objectives:
To understand how to relate the external loading acting on a beam to the resulting beam deflections for both statically determinate and indeterminate cases. To be able to calculate stresses in beams under conditions of combined loading and asymmetrical loading. To understand the phenomena of stability and buckling and to determine critical loads. To develop further insight into the concepts of stress, strain, and deformation.
