EGR-211 Solid Mechanics

This course introduces students to some fundamental principles of engineering mechanics - statics and mechanics of deformable bodies. Topics typically include statics of particles and rigid bodies, equivalent force-couple systems and equilibrium in 2D and 3D, frames and machines; centroids; stress, strain, tension, compression, torsion, bending, shear, design and deflection of beams, stability of columns. Some hands-on labs are also included. Prerequisite or corequisite: MAT-254
