CEE 4710 - Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics

Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisites: ENGRD 2020, MATH 2940. Co-meets with CEE 6710.

M. D. Grigoriu.

Topics include beam bending; beams on elastic foundations; stability analysis for columns and beam-columns; linear elasticity; numerical solutions for linear elasticity problems; and applications including stress concentration, torsion, and plates.

Outcome 1: Be able to formulate engineering problems and solve these problems using adequate mathematical tools.

Outcome 2: Understand some abstract concepts, for example, stability, torsion, stress concentration, needed in modern structural engineering.
