CEE 244 - Mechanics of Materials w/Lab

Course Units: 1

This course is a basic engineering course in applied mechanics that deals with the behavior of solid bodies subjected to various types of loading. Solid bodies considered in this course include axially loaded members, shafts in torsion, thin shells, beams, and columns, as well as structures that are assemblies of these components. The objectives of strength of materials analysis are the determination of the stresses, strains, and displacements, produced by the loads. Knowing these quantities for all values of load up to the failure load gives a complete picture of the behavior of the body. Prerequisite(s): CEE 201
