Outcomes
In order to successfully complete this course, the student will:
1. Explain the concepts of stress and strain.
2. Analyze stress and strain of axial, torsional, bending, and transverse loadings.
3. Develop introductory design concepts for mitigating failure due to yield or rupture.
4. Analyze stress and deformation for thermal effects.
5. Explain the failure criteria for engineering materials.
6. Explain strain energy.
7. Develop useful engineering equations by increasing proficiency in statics, including the use of statics, calculus, and core concepts in mechanics of materials.
