PHY 203 - Mechanics of Materials
IAI Number Major: EGR945
4 Credit Hour(s)
4 Lecture Hour(s)
0 Lab Hours(s)
Prerequisite(s): PHY 201 with a minimum grade of C or higher
This course is a continuation of PHY 201 - Statics , building on that course’s material to offer a more thorough understanding of the physics of beams and shafts. Topics include, but are not limited to: concepts of stress and strain, material properties (elastic and plastic); torsion; shear stresses and deformations; thermal stresses; thin-walled pressure vessels; pure bending; stresses and strains; transverse loading of beans; shear stress and combined loading; transformations of stress and strain (Mohr’s Circle); design of beams and shafts for strength; shear and moment diagrams; deflection of beans; energy methods; and column.
