CADM255 Statics and Strength of Materials

This course is an algebra-based introduction for the analytical study of the effects of forces acting on a body at rest. Includes the study of centroids, area moment of inertia, trusses, and frames. Analysis of axial, shear, and torsional stresses and strains in machine and structural elements such as beams, columns, and shafts under static, impact, and dynamic loads are covered. Concepts of thinned-walled cylinders, joints, couplings, shear and moment diagrams, and the design of beams are discussed.
