MENG 274 - Advanced Strength of Materials

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 75

Restricted to students in Mechanical Engineering Technology
Students will receive an introduction to plasticity, beam shape factors, and residual stresses. The design of columns and struts will be discussed. The student will also determine how to analyze systems experiencing asymmetric bending, as well as the deflection of curved beams. Energy methods applied to strength of materials will be developed, including concepts of strain energy, the principle of virtual work, the principle of stationary potential energy, and Castigliano’s theorems. As well, impact loading will be considered from an energy approach.
