EGR 332 - Mechanics of Deformable Bodies (1)

An introduction to the effects of forces on solid bodies. Structures will be analyzed under axial, shear, torsional, and bending loads. Students learn to assess structures in terms of stress, strain, and deflection under the various types of loading. The course emphasizes individual and group problem-solving. Students apply course concepts to build and evaluate their own structures during hands-on design projects. Prerequisite: EGR 331 and MAT 122.
