CET 3135 - Mechanics of Materials with Laboratory

4(3 + 2)

Prerequisite: CET 2150 and COM 2610 with grades of “C” or better; or permission of instructor

Corequisite: MTH 2410

This course introduces the theory of strength of materials, stresses and strains in members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, and shear. Flexural and shearing stresses in beams, principal stresses, and deflection of beams, column analysis, and indeterminate structures are also introduced. The laboratory component of the course is structured to give students experience in the use of laboratory equipment for conducting axial loading, shear and bending tests on various materials.
