Description

Axial, torsional, transverse and bending loads; compound states of stress, principal stresses and strains; basic theories of failure for ductile and brittle materials; buckling including local buckling effects; basic energy methods; impact theory.

To develop basic competency in the application of the methods of Mechanics of Materials to problems in Mechanical Engineering.  The course serves as a foundation for subsequent, required courses: ENME203 (Dynamics and Vibrations), ENME307 (Mechanical Behaviour of Materials) and ENME302 (Computer-aided Mechanical Engineering Analysis).

Learning Outcomes

 Understanding of the states of stress, strain and deformation resulting from the four basic loading conditions in Mechanical Engineering.
 Understanding of the concept of principal stresses and strains, and basic theories of failure.
 Understanding of the concept of instability and buckling.  Understanding of basic strain energy methods.
 Ability to calculate the internal stresses, strains and displacements within basic structural elements subject to axial, torsional and transverse static loading.
 Awareness of the assumptions and limitations of the analytical methods used in the course
