ENGRD 2020 Mechanics of Solids (also TAM 2020)
Fall, spring. 4 credits. Prerequisite: PHYS 1112, co-registration in MATH 1920, or permission of instructor. All students must take a lab section. Staff.
Covers principles of statics, force systems, and equilibrium; frames; mechanics of deformable solids, stress, strain, statically indeterminate problems; mechanical properties of engineering materials; axial force, shearing force, bending moment, thermal stress, stretching; bending and torsion of bars. Laboratory experiments demonstrate basic principles of solid mechanics.
