ARPL 542 Structures II
This course continues exploring structural mechanics from Structures I and adds strength of materials, focusing on mechanical properties of structural materials, thermal effects on structures, strength, and deformation of structural components. The course introduces concepts of stress, strain, deflection, bending, and buckling of linear structural components. Additional topics include shear and bending diagrams, deflection in beams, mechanical properties of structural sections, and analysis and design of beams, and columns.
