Document Summary

Suggested additional reading: table 1. 1, section 2. 16 of textbook. Types of supports and associated reactions 1-14. 1. 5. 2 axial load on a bar 1-32. Transverse shear stresses in a beam 1-42. The objectives of this introduction is to define the course"s objectives and scope as well as review basic concepts that were originally introduced in your early mechanics and cive 270 courses, such as. This introduction will lead us to the first major unit of this course. In the context of a mechanical engineering undergraduate degree, understanding advanced strength of materials is critical. Cive 270 provides students preliminary stress-strain information and tools for analysing structures. Mece 380 pushes that knowledge further and adds a design and experimental component. It is the objective of this course to examine load-carrying capacity of a structure in terms of (1) , (2) and (3) . Identify potential critical areas in a loaded system.
