ENGI 295 Strengths of Materials

This course is the study of material strength, including elasticity, stress, strain, beam analysis, analysis of structural forms, torsion, deformation, modes of failure, and column analysis. The course provides a basic understanding of how structures and machines should be designed to prevent failure. Prerequisites: MATH 175 & ENGI 210

IV. Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

• Explain concepts of stress and strain and apply them in materials analysis
• Use material properties of Young’s Modulus, tensile strength, and Poisson’s ratio in material safety analysis
• Use combinations of stresses and strains to predict maximum loading/failure, bending, shear, and torsion

V. Topical Outline (Course Content)

Students will demonstrate a working knowledge of the following processes and concepts: Allowable stress and safety factors Allowable stress design Shear stress Concepts of strain Elongation Hooke’s Law Poisson’s ratio Strain energy Stess-strain diagram Superpostion Stress concentrations Thermal Stages Moar’s circle Torsion Bending Combined loading Deflection of beams and shafts
