Strength of Materials II
Delve into advanced concepts of materials science and engineering in this comprehensive 22-hour course. Review fundamental principles from Strength of Materials I before exploring complex topics such as stress transformation, 3D analysis, combined loadings, and thin-walled pressure vessels. Master beam and shaft design techniques, learn various methods for calculating beam deflection, and understand the differences between plane strain and plane stress. Examine strain transformation, Mohr's Circle for strain, and strain energy concepts. Apply strain-energy and work-energy methods, study Castigliano's Theorem, and investigate column buckling under centric and eccentric loadings. Conclude with practical column design using empirical equations from AISC standards.
