MEEG 202 Strength of Materials 3cr.

Course Objectives:

The Strength of Materials Course will focus on strength of materials principles and techniques for use in
mechanical engineering design and problem solving. Mechanical engineering designs are increasingly
complex and require a range of mechanics skills including, predicting material failure under steady and

nonlinear structural deflections and resulting residual stresses, computing shear stresses in thin-walled
structures, analyzing for stresses in axisymmetric thin-walled shells and thick cylinders and predicting
the stability of elastic beams and shells. All of these important mechanics skills must be utilized by a
mechanical engineer to make informed design decisions and to solve many engineering problems.
