Outline and Purpose of the Course The simplified one-dimensional treatments lectured in Mechanics of Materials 1 are extended to include more complex two- or three-dimensional problems. Analytical methods for the deformation and the stresses in various structural members are lectured including the combined stress states.
Course Goals The emphasis is to understand the fundamental concepts and methods for the stress/strain analysis of various structures or struictural members, by advancing the basic principles given in Mechanics of Materials 1.
Schedule and Contents 1-2. Beam bending
(Beam bending, Castigliano's theorem)
3-5. Advanced problems of beams
(Statically indeterminate beams, Continuous beams, Curved beams)
6-9. Basics of elasticity
(Combined stress states, Mohr's stress and strain circles, Equilibrium equations, Displacement-strain relations, Stress-strain relations, Plane stress or strain states, Relation between elastic constants)
10-11. Torsion
(Torsion of circular bars, Coil springs, Combination of bending and torsion)
12. Buckling
(Buckling of column, Instability, Effect of support conditions, Buckling design)
13-14. Axially symmetric problems and bending of plates
(Circular cylinders, Spherical shells, Rotating circular plates, Cylindrical bending, Bending rigidity)
15. Feedback

Academic achievement assessment: Regular examination

* The order and the hours (weights) for each item are possibly subject to change.
Evaluation Methods and Policy [Evaluation method]
Evaluation is based on the mid-term and the final examinations as a general rule,
possibly with considerations of short reports (about three times).
(In the cases where the evaluation for short reports are considered, the ratio of the evaluations for regular examination and short reports is about 9:1.)
[Evaluation standard]
Evaluation is based on class registration guideline.
Course Requirements Mechanics of Materials 1, and other subjects such as calculus, linear algebra, mechanics of particles and rigid bodies.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) It is highly recommended to make the preparation and review with the specified textbook. Homework (short reports: about three times) will be assigned.
