Course
Objectives |
• Bridge the gap between elementary strength of materials and the more advanced courses in structural analysis and structural mechanics; cover materials a step or two beyond elementary strength of materials • Provide the student with a background in the classical theory of elasticity (mathematical stress analysis) • Understand approximate theories of structural analysis (engineering stress analysis – strength of materials) • Establish the relationship between the simplified and more general theories • Demonstrate systematic solution of a number of representative problems indicating basic principles of structural analysis • Enrich student's skill for physical interpretation of analysis results |

Requirements |
Homework: Will be assigned weekly and due EXACTLY in one week from day of assignment. Late submission will not be accepted without a valid reason.
Project: Students will submit a report based on a specific strength of materials topic (determined through discussing with the instructor) involving analysis, experimentation, failure etc. Each student will read several journal papers on a topic and write a summarized report on the topic. |

Registration |
All students must register through the Engineering Online registration site at http://www.ncsu.edu/project/engonline/index.php. You do not have to be admitted to a degree program to enroll in an online course. However, you must have completed a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or related area from an accredited institution. Full-time, employed individuals are limited to enrollment in two graduate courses for each semester. On-campus degree seeking students must have approval from their Director of Graduate Programs to register for an Engineering Online course. Tuition and Fees per credit hour:
