ME 216 Introduction to Solid MechanicsCredits: (3-0) 3
This course covers the fundamental concepts of solid mechanics including the definition of stress, transformations and states of stress; plane stress, plane strain, octahedral stresses, three dimensional stresses, and principal stresses in two and three dimensions. Additional topics include strain analysis, strain measurements and rosette analysis, generalized Hooks law, and orthotropic materials. Specific applications are an introduction to composite materials, analysis of thin and thick cylinders, statically indeterminate members, torsional loading of shafts, power transmission and the shaft analysis, torsional loads in non-circular components and thin tubes, stress concentrations, and combined loads.
Prerequisites: MATH 125 , ME 210 with a minimum grade of “C”, or permission of instructor
