EGR 264 - Strength of Materials

4.00 credits.

Behavior of materials under load up to and including fracture with applications to the design of physical systems. Topics include axial stress and strain, torsion, pressure vessels, stresses in beams, combined multiaxial stresses, failure criteria, linear elastic fracture mechanics, fatigue, and materials science structure-function relationships. Includes a two-hour lab each week, including Finite Element Analysis. *Prerequisite(s): EGR 262. *Corequisite(s): EGR 264L. Spring semester, even-numbered years.
