4 points * 26 lecture hours, 26 tutorial hours * First semester * Caulfield * Prerequisites: ENC1301
Objectives The student is expected to consolidate and extend the knowledge of stress and strain relationships for axial and flexural loading gained in level-one studies.
Synopsis Review of beam reactions, bending moment, thrust and shear force diagrams extension to statically determinate frames. Beam theory: flexural, direct and shear stresses, torsion, shear centre, combined stress. Elementary stress analysis; normal and shear stress, stress and strain at a point; Mohr's circle, principal stresses, Hooke's law, general theory of elasticity.
