EGR 252 Strength of Materials

Lecture: 2 Lab: 2 Clinic: 0 Credits: 3

This course covers the principles and concepts of stress analysis. Topics include centroids, moments of inertia, shear/moment diagrams, and stress and strain. Upon completion, students should be able to perform a stress and strain analysis on structural components.

Pre-requisite(s): EGR-251
Course is typically offered in Fall.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At the completion of the course, students should be able to do the following:

Apply principles of stress, strain, and material behavior to structural analysis.
Interpret shear force and bending moment diagrams.
Analyze normal and shear stress in axially and transversely loaded members.
Evaluate stress-strain relationships and material behavior under loading.
Calculate deflection and internal loading in structural components.
