| Purpose: To consolidate and expand on the student's understanding of the behavior of engineering materials when subjected to the most common kinds of loading. After this module the student is expected to engage in rather more inclusive and yet general calculations of stresses under thermal loading; determine energy transfer under different load applications; calculate the magnitude of shear forces and bending moments; determine the second moment of areas for various cross sections; determine the bending stress under different boundary conditions and loadings; and calculate the magnitude of horizontal shear stresses in different sections. |
