EGT-231 Strength of Materials

This course is a technical study of the stress and strain in materials from the action of external forces. The application of these principles is used in the design of structures and machines. Axial loads, torsion, and bending are analyzed individually and in combination. The deflection of beams and stability of columns are studied. Total of 45 hours of lecture. Course fee required. Prerequisite: EGT 136. Semester offered: Periodically. 3 Credits.
