Course Description:
Covers shear and bending moment diagrams, combined loading, analysis
of determinate and indeterminate beams by various methods (integration,
superposition, general energy and Castigliano's theorem), impact loading,
introduction to stability of structures and buckling of columns with various
supports including eccentric loads, and the secant formula.
Course Prerequisites:Engineering Mechanics, MIM 1355
Course Objectives:
Students are expected to learn and demonstrate the following abilities:
1. To find stress and deformation in simple structural members under
axial, bending, and torsional loading.
2. To design simple structures
3. To find deflection in a point in simple structures using energy
approach.
4. To analyze simple structures for stability.
