Course Objective

The course is aimed for engineers to build upon elementary concepts of strength analysis and processes that have been mastered in undergraduate study. Stress analysis is part of the design process which strives to ensure that each element of a given system will not fail to meet the structural requirements of the design throughout the specified life of the system. Subjects will cover problems which closely resemble simple models which have known closed-form solutions to complex problems which are not easily adaptable to various classical techniques. Properties of structural materials; analysis of stress and deformation in axially loaded members, circular shafts, and beams, and in statically indeterminate systems containing these components will be handled throughout the course.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To command advanced and applied knowledge in the area of material behavior and their mechanics and their applications in structural engineering.
2   To conduct independent and original study ranging from gathering of information to proposing, creating, documenting the study, and its resolution and/or elucidation.
3   To develop the ability to critique and synthesize literature, review results and to apply this knowledge in developing new ideas; in designing and evaluating scientific investigations; and in assessing, interpreting and understanding data.
4   To demonstrate mastery of the subject matter at a deeper theoretical and applied level beyond the fundamental knowledge gained in the undergraduate courses.
5   To present scientific results in both written and oral format through the practice of performing class lectures, presentations, and reports.
6   To acquire knowledge of topics associated with Professional practices and methods presented during the lectures in the class.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

This course is taught in a lecture, class presentation, problem-session and discussion format. All students are expected to attend both the lecture and problem-session, discussion so they are also expected to solve on their own and submit homework in time.
