## M**EC E 380 Advanced Strength of Materials I** **Subject & Number:** MEC E 380 **Title:** Advanced Strength of Materials I **Course Career** **Units**: 3 **Approved Hours:** 3-1s-0 **Fee index:** 8 **Faculty:** [Faculty of Engineering]{.mark} **Department:** Mechanical Engineering **Typically Offered:** either term or Spring/Summer ### Calendar Description Stress, strain, stress-strain relation, time-independent behavior, virtual work and energy theorems, deformations, indeterminate systems, matrix methods. Prerequisite: CIV E 270. ### ### Asynchronous & synchronous course content delivery all lectures/seminars in the class-room only ### Course Objectives & General Content This course covers basic concepts and analysis methods for advanced strength of materials, including stress, strain, stress-strain relation, plane elasticity, bending of beams, virtual work and energy theorems, indeterminate systems. This course is a prerequisite for some further courses in mechanical engineering program. The course materials covered in this course are essential and generally required for mechanical engineers graduated from a university's engineering program in North America ### ### Learning outcomes 1. Appreciate the concepts of plane elasticity and the concept of stress and strain fields 2. Determine the stress field and conduct stress analysis for a variety of structural components 3. Analyze the deformation of various structural components using traditional and energy methods 4. Determine the forces and deformations in problems involving asymmetric beams 5. Determine the torques and rotations in problems involving torsion of non-circular cross fsections 6. Determine the stresses and strains in bending problems involving symmetric and asymmetric beams 7. Solve some basic plane elasticity problems ### Textbooks and References \"Advanced Mechanics of Materials & Applied Elasticity\" by Ugural & Fenster (any edition) ### Assessment Details +-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+------------+ | **Activity** | **(A)Synchronous** | **Due/Scheduled** | **Weight** | +-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+------------+ | > assignments | | > weekly | > 10% | | > (best 10/11) | | | | +-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+------------+ | > quizzes (dates | | > selected 5 | > 10% | | > listed in | | > seminars | | | > syllabus) | | | | +-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+------------+ | > midterm | | > Oct.24 (lecture | > 30% | | | | > time/room) | | +-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+------------+ | > final exam | | > Dec.14 (9-11am) | > 50% | +===================+====================+===================+============+ ### Course Accreditation Units The current total and individual Accreditation Unit (AU) counts for this course are: ----------------------------------------------------------------- **Total** **Math** **NS** **ES** **ED** **CS** ------------- ------------- -------- ---------- -------- -------- 44.1 44.1 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ### Course Graduate Attributes The Graduate Attributes (GAs) developed in this course are: --------------------------------------------------------------- **\#** **Graduate Attribute** **Level (I, D, A)** -------- ------------------------------------------ ----------- 1 A knowledge base for engineering (KB): D 2 Problem analysis (PA): D 3 Investigation (IN): 4 Design (DE): 5 Use of engineering tools (ET): 6 Individual and team work (TW): 7 Communication skills (CS): 8 Professionalism (PR): 9 Impact of engineering on society and the environment (IS): 10 Ethics and equity (EE): 11 Economics and project management (EP): 12 Life-long learning (LL): --------------------------------------------------------------- ### ### Course Schedule +------------------+-----------+---------------------------------------+ | **Lectures** | Chapters | Assignment Questions (from Textbook, | | | | 5th edition 2012, all questions will | | | | be posted in eClass) & Due Day | +------------------+-----------+---------------------------------------+ | Sept.5, 7; | Chapt.1 : | Assign.1: 1.2(b), 4, 9, 12, 14. | | | 1.1-8; | Sept.14 Assign.2: 1.18, 45, 50; 60, | | Sept.12; 14, 19 | | 65, 66(a).
