CEE 372 - Mechanics of Solids (3 units)
Effects of axial loads, temperature changes, torsion and bending on structural elements; analysis of stress and strain, beam deflections, introduction to buckling and statically indeterminate structures.
Prerequisite(s): Either CEE 241 or ME 241 with a “C” or better.
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered Every Fall and Spring
Student Learning Outcomes (if available):
Upon completion of this course:
1. Students will be able to organize, approach, and solve multi-step engineering problems whose solutions are not visible at the beginning of the process.
2. Students will be able to draw bending moment diagrams with proficiency for a variety of statically determinate beams and loading conditions.
3. Students will be able to analyze the state of stress in a beam or a simple structure subject to complex loadings.
4. Students will be able to evaluate normal stress, shear stress, and principle stresses, and determine where stresses are maximized.
5. Students will be able to solve for deflections in bars or beams subjected to axial loading, torque, and bending moments.
6. Students will be able to develop a skills toolbox for rapid hand solutions/verification of complex engineering problems that can be used throughout your professional practice.
