MET2300 Strength of Materials

This course builds on the concepts learned in MET2200 Statics, now analyzing the effects of forces on structural members and machine components. These effects, seen in various forms of mechanical stress, will be studied by the students so that they may understand how to properly size components and select materials for particular design applications, including beams, columns, and shafts, as well as bolted, riveted, and welded connections. Students will also gain an understanding of the importance of safety, and how it plays a role in component design and selection.
