ENGR 213 Strength of Materials

Course presents theory of stress and strain, shear, bending, combined stresses, and temperature-induced stresses in axially loaded members, circular shafts, beams and in statically indeterminate systems. Additional topics include thin-walled pressure vessels, torsional and flexural loading, failure theory and column buckling.
