CE 423 Advanced Mechanics Of Materials

Credit Structure: (3-0)3

Catalog Description:
Analysis of stress in 3D. Strains and stress-strain relations in 3D. Mechanical behaviour of materials. Failure theories. Beams on elastic foundations. Elastic stability of axially loaded members. Solution techniques by energy and finite difference approaches.

Course Objectives:
This course is designed to teach carefully selected advanced topics in mechanics of materials. The objective of the course is to broaden the horizons of the graduates of the Civil Engineering Department in the field of mechanics of materials. The course also aims at creation of an environment in which the students are encouraged to participate in the development of solution algorithms of various problems and, in this way, to improve the problem solving skills of the students.
