CIV 219 - Strength of Materials
Behavior of materials due to axial force, shear force, and moments can be quantified by stress and strain. Students will learn how to calculate stress and strain, apply Hooke’s Law, draw shear and moment diagrams, calculate beam deflection, identify points of maximum and minimum stress and then use this information to select structural members.
