MECH 2051 - Materials Strength

Credits: 4

This course covers the principles involved in the analysis of stresses which occur within machine and structural elements subjected to various types of loads. Analyses of these stresses are made as applied to beams, columns, couplings and shafts, pressure vessels, connections and other load bearing elements. Laboratory activities will reinforce theory covered in lecture. Mechanical properties of common materials are determined using equipment such as Tensile Testing Machine, Torsion Testing Machine and Impact Testing Machine. Word Processing, Spreadsheet and Oral presentation programs are used in the analysis of experimental data, preparation of laboratory reports, and presentation of those reports in class.

Prerequisite: MECH 1014
