Fall 2025 Lecture Upper DivisionConcepts of stress and strain analysis under combined loadings are introduced. Analyses emphasize use of von Mises stress, Mohr's circle, static failure theories, and fatigue failure criteria. Structural joints and buckling are also analyzed.
Learning Outcomes1Analyze stresses in mechanical bodies and structures subjected to combined loadings.
2Apply static failure criteria in the analysis and design of mechanical bodies.
3Apply fatigue assessment methods in the analysis and design of mechanical bodies subjected cyclic loadings.
4Perform buckling analysis in columns.
5Analyze structural joints.
