ME 561 - Analysis and Design of Mechanical Structures

(4 credits)

Use and methods of advanced mechanics of materials to design mechanical structures to meet elastic strength criteria. Topics include plates and shells, torsion of noncircular cross-sections, beams on elastic foundation, curved and composite beams, rotating disks, thick-walled cylinders, and energy methods. This coure is cross listed with an undergradute course. Credit cannot be received for both ME 561 and ME 461.Offered fall.
