Study CEE 302 the smart way
Sage already knows this exact syllabus — ask it anything about Strength of Structural Materials, generate practice questions in your exam's format, and get a cram sheet that works offline.
What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:
utilise bending theory to obtain stress distribution across a bending section, as well as the slope and deflection at a section given any bending moment and shear force distribution along the beam
determine whether a point in a material subjected to multidimensional stress will fail according to any failure theory
explain the concepts of creep, fatigue and their implications in the use of structural materials
analyse motion and stresses in springs
determine the stresses and strains due to internal pressure on thin and thick cylinder walls;
determine the stresses and strains induced in rotating disks and the implications.
Course contents
Advanced topics on axial, lateral, and torsional loading of shafts and beams; slope and deflection of beams; unsymmetrical bending and shear centre; applications. Springs. Creep, fatigue, fracture and stress concentration. Stresses in thin and thick cylinders, and rotating disks. Multi-dimensional stress systems, Mohr's circle and failure theories.
