Stress Analysis & Design

Hours

3.0 Credit, 3 Lecture, 0 Lab

Semester

Winter
Stress analysis and deflection of structures; general bending and torsion, with computer applications to mechanical and aerospace structure design.

Outcome 1

1. Calculate stresses in machine components due to combined static and fatigue loads.

 

Outcome 2

2. Compute shear centers and stresses in beams with non-symmetric cross sections.

Outcome 3

Compute stresses in nonlinear materials and materials under plastic deformation.

Outcome 4

Calculate torsional stress in noncircular cross sections, open sections, and multi compartment cross sections.

Outcome 5

Calculate contact stresses using closed form expressions and FEA.

Outcome 6

Use commercial FEA software to create models of structures and components. Demonstrate decision making using FEA results for engineering application.

Outcome 7

Design and analyze beams on elastic foundations.

Outcome 8

Apply stress and deflection analysis concepts to a real-world problem and document the analysis through well designed figures and graphic.
