TECH 313 - Mechanics and Strengths

Credits: 4

This course will examine bodies under the action of forces: both for particles, cables, beams, trusses, frames, and machines subjected to external loading conditions; and the internal forces, stresses, and deformation of objects and structures subjected to axial, shear, torsional, lateral, and thermal loading conditions. The intent is to provide actual, real world understanding of physical objects.

Prerequisite(s): (PHYS 175 or PHYS 205) and (MATH 215 or MATH 230)

Lecture-Lab (ex: 3-1 means 3 hrs lecture and 1 hr lab): Three hours lecture, two hours recitation/lab.
