Course Objectives:

1. To learn to analyze a structure for internal forces

Student learning outcomes: The student will demonstrate the ability to:

a)         Determine internal axial forces in both statically determinate and statically indeterminate axially loaded prismatic and non-prismatic members subjected to applied forces, temperature variations and prestrain effects

b)         Determine internal torques in both statically determinate and statically indeterminate torsionally loaded prismatic and non-prismatic solid circular shaft and hollow tubes subjected to applied torques.

c)         Determine internal shears, moments and axial forces in beams and accurately draw shear and bending moment diagrams.

2. To learn the fundamentals of analysis of stress

Student learning outcomes: The student will demonstrate the ability to:

a)         Determine internal stresses in both statically determinate and statically indeterminate axially loaded prismatic and non-prismatic members subjected to applied forces, temperature variations and prestrain effects.

b)         Determine internal stresses in both statically determinate and statically indeterminate torsionally loaded prismatic and non-prismatic solid circular shaft and hollow tubes subjected to applied torques.

c)         Determine normal and shear stresses in rectangular beams, beams with flanges and built-up beams of various shapes.

d)         Use Mohr's Circle to analyze stress at a point and determine principal stresses.

3. To learn the fundamentals of analysis of deflections

      Student learning outcomes: The student will demonstrate the ability to:

a)         Calculate deflections of beams using integration, superposition method

b)         Analyze statically indeterminate beams using superposition

4. To learn the fundamentals of stability analysis

Student learning outcomes: The student will demonstrate the ability to:

a)      Use Euler's formula to evaluate the stability of columns.

Late Drops/Adds:         The University deadlines for adds and drops are:

September 6, 2005 – last day to drop
September 13, 2005 – last day to add

Grading:

Midterms                                                                                                          60 %
Homework/Quizzes                                                                                          10 %
Final (oral presentation and poster)                                                                   30 %

 

Generally grading will be based on A (90%), B (80%), C (70%), D (60%), F (below 60%). Everyone can earn a high grade if they work hard!!!!

No late work will be accepted, or in-class assignments or exams rescheduled except by prior consent from the instructor.

Final Exam Schedule:

Wednesday December 14     7:15 AM – 9:30 AM

Special Accommodations

Please contact me if you need special accommodations. Students who need accommodation due to a disability must register with SJSU's Disability Resource Center (DRC). The Center will work with the student to determine the disability, document it, and determine the services and accommodations necessary for student success. The DRC will contact the instructor to determine the types of consideration necessary. Students must register with the Center during the first three weeks of the semester. The DRC Web site: http://www.drc.sjsu.edu/

Academic Integrity (University Policy S04-12)

The University emphasizes responsible citizenship and an understanding of ethical choices inherent in human development. Academic honesty and fairness foster ethical standards for all those who depend upon the integrity of the university, its courses, and its degrees. This policy sets the standards for such integrity and shall be used to inform students, faculty and staff of the university’s Academic Integrity Policy. The public is defrauded if faculty and/or students knowingly or unwittingly allow dishonest acts to be rewarded academically and the university’s degrees are compromised.
