NS- Students will analyze the basic theories of stress and strain and their application to the properties and behavior of engineering materials. They will develop an understanding of the subject through an examination of how specific geometry and loads, intrinsic material properties, and the fundamental constitutive relations governing material behavior can be used to predict how materials react to loads. Students will explore this behavior by modeling it in the context of realistic situations. Further, they will examine modes of material failure and learn strategies useful in predicting and preventing it. Technology will be integrated throughout the course, and a scientific calculator is required.
Prerequisites
