Engineering theory of deformable solids and applications. Stress and deformation resulting from axial, torsion, and bending loads. Shear and moment diagrams, Mohr's circle for stress and strain, and buckling of columns. Supervised individual study with an area of particular interest to a student which is beyond the scope of the courses. May be repeated for credit.
Students pursue an area or problem in more depth than possible in other courses.
Topics for investigation may originate from the student or the faculty member supervising the study. May be repeated for credit. Solid State Transformations. Thermodynamics, morphology and kinetics of solid state transformations. Solid State Electronics.
