SSE 3135 - Strength of Materials with Laboratory

Credits: 4

Prerequisite(s): SSE 2150 with a grade of “C” or better, or permission of instructor

Description: Students in this course are introduced to the fundamentals in the strength and deformation of engineering materials. Students focus on the development of constitutive relationships of materials under axial, torsion, transverse shear and bending loading conditions, and the engineering applications in the first part of the course. Students are introduced to beam-deflection and column-buckling theories and engineering solutions in the second part of the course. Students use laboratory time to enhance the knowledge and theories developed in the class and to use different equipment measuring engineering properties of various materials.
