Strength of Materials
Dive into a comprehensive 23-hour course on Strength of Materials from Cal Poly Pomona. Explore fundamental concepts including principles of statics, internal resultant loads, stress-strain relationships, and Hooke's Law. Learn about deformations in axially loaded members, statically indeterminate structures, and thermal stress. Examine topics such as Poisson's ratio, multi-axial stress, shearing strain, and torsion in circular shafts. Study bending deformation, pure bending, composite beams, and eccentric loadings. Master the creation and interpretation of shear and bending moment diagrams, and understand load-shear-bending relationships. Investigate shear flow, stress transformation, principal stresses, and Mohr's circle in plane stress. Gain a solid foundation in materials science and structural analysis through this in-depth exploration of mechanical properties and behavior of materials under various loading conditions.
