EGR 228 Introduction to Solid Mechanics

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

This course provides an introduction to engineering theory of deformable solids and applications. Topics include stress and deformation resulting from axial, torsion, and bending loads; shear and moment diagrams; Mohr’s circle of stress; and strain and buckling of columns. Upon completion, students should be able to analyze solids subject to various forces and design systems using a variety of materials. This course has been approved for transfer under the CAA as a premajor and/or elective course requirement. Pre-requisite(s): EGR 220 .
