ETEC 220 - Applied Strengths of Materials
5.0 Credits
Study of forces acting on structures at rest; free body diagrams (FBDs), trusses and friction. Analysis of tension, compression, shear, deformation and stress acting on members.
Prerequisite ETEC 215 with at a grade of at least 2.0.
Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Explain and apply the principles of vector mechanics, vector algebra, and of representation of physical quantities by a vector notation.
- Explain the physical meaning of a force and a moment equilibrium.
- Draw a correct and complete FBD of forces and moments for a structure.
- Select and apply tools to analyze tension, compression, shear, deformation, torsion, and stress of members.
- Apply the basics of materials testing procedures to measure mechanical properties.
- Correctly use computerized materials test instrumentation and interpret test results.
- Run tensile, compressive, flexural, peel tests, and interpret test curves.
