Normal and shear stress and also deformations are determined for axial, torsional and bending loads. Combined stresses using the Mohr's circle technique are studied. Tension test and the relationship between stress and strain are examined. A laboratory course dealing with standard physical tests of various materials, instrumentation used in these tests and the preparation of laboratory reports. The study of the basics of fluid power.
Areas of study are pressure, viscosity, turbulence, flow, thermal properties and displacement.
Principles of deflection, stress, bending and torsion in parts. Working stresses and failure in parts. Design shafts, springs, and screws. 0610-399 Independent Study A supervised investigation within a mechanical technology area of student interest. Consent of the instructor and departmental approval are required.
