Purpose of class

The purpose of this lecture is to understand the theory and methods of basic deformation analysis and stress analysis of members and structures. The purpose is also to develop the ability to model complex structures into simple structures that can be solved using material mechanics.

Course description

When designing mechanical structures, it is required not only to fulfill their functions, but also to have sufficient strength so that they can be used safely without damage. On the other hand, excessive strength not only increases the cost of mechanical structures, but also increases their weight and reduces efficiency. In Mechanics of Materials 2, based on the knowledge acquired in Mechanics of Materials 1, we will derive torsional deformation when a torsional moment (torque) acts on basic structural members and explain allowable torque. We will also explain stress transformation, principal stress, etc. on a two-dimensional plane that is subject to various stresses. Furthermore, we will explain the deformation and buckling of beams subjected to tension, compression, torsion, and bending.

Goals and objectives

Be able to correctly understand, analyze, and explain the deformation and stress of a round bar subjected to torsional moments.
Be able to correctly understand, analyze, and explain stress transformation, principal stresses, and principal axes in two-dimensional stress problems.
Be able to correctly understand, analyze, and explain deformation analysis of structures subjected to tension, compression, torsion, and bending.
Be able to correctly understand, analyze, and explain Castigliano’s theorem.
Be able to correctly understand, analyze, and explain buckling of long columns.
