Students examine how forces affect machine members and structural elements, calculate stress and strain, analyze connections, and evaluate beams and columns. Topics include loading; statically indeterminate structures; temperature and prestrain effects; shear force and bending moment; axial, shear, bearing and bending stresses; deflection of beams; and buckling of columns. Students use calculations applied to the above topics to determine if a certain design will succeed or fail.
