Course Description:
- The course covers the following topics; analysis of stress, strain and material properties, problems in elasticity, failure criteria, bending of beams, torsion of prismatic bars, numerical method, application of energy methods, and plastic behavior of materials.
- The course will begin with a thorough explanation to solving mechanical problems, by presenting the theory of stress and strain. These basics will be used to derive generalized elastic constitutive relations in materials with anisotropic and time-dependent properties. Prediction of failure of materials will be covered in sections dealing with yielding, failure criteria, and fatigue.
- These components will provide a basis for elasticity solutions assuming either plane stress or strain. Finally, these solution techniques will be applied to the stress analysis of curved beams, beams on elastic foundations, asymmetric beams, torsion of prismatic elements, and thick-walled cylinders.
Course Objective: Aims of this course are:
- To provide a thorough understanding of advanced topics concerning the response of materials and structural elements to applied forces of deformation.
- To give a firm foundation to advanced design topics while providing the foundations to finite element solutions to more complex problems.
Method of Instruction:
The instruction for ME 526 will consist of three one-hour lectures each week. These lectures will introduce the analytical techniques and advanced mechanics concepts that were described above. The theories will be reinforced through regular homework assignments and exams.
Course Material: Text Book is “Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity”, 5th Edition, Ugural, A. C. and S. K. Fenster. 2012. Prentice Hall. 704 pp, ISBN-10 0-13-707920, ISBN-13 978-0-13-707920-9.
Examinations:
There will be 1 mid-term examination, 1 final examination, 5 quizzes and 5 homework.
Notes and Assignments:
Course notes and assignments, along with additional information, will be placed on a course web page in PDF format for the student to download. Homework will be due at the beginning of the lecture on the due date, which will be shown on all homework assignments. No late assignments will be accepted. Missing assignments will be given a grade of zero.
All electronic material will be in pdf format.
Attendance:
According to the university regulations, students must attend at least 70 % of the lecture hours. Otherwise, the student gets NA (Not attended) from the course. Valid excuses are exempt from computation of these percentages.
Apart from the university regulations, it is of student’s benefit to attend all of the lecture hours.
Grading:
Overall final grade will be over 1000 points. Weight of each grading item will be as below.
Progress and retention will be evaluated with homework assignments and exams. Homework will be assigned regularly to reinforce concepts covered in lecture. A Mid-Term Exam will be given to assess the understanding of the general elasticity components. A Final Exam will be assigned to assess the ability to utilize the different analysis methods presented in the course.
The course grade will compromise a weighted average of all assignments. The specific distribution will be:
