Learning Outcomes
- Recgonize the fundamentals of stress/strain analysis.
- Recognize the most commonly used material properties and their design implications.
- Apply stress analysis to prevent failure such as fracture and yielding when designing mechanical systems.
- Utilize a numerical simulation software for basic stress and strain calculations (Ansys structural)
Content
- Introductory concepts: Normal and shear stress, strain and deformation

- Stress state: stress tensor, stress transformation, Mohr's circle

- Strain state: strain tensor, relation between strain component and deformation, Mohr's cirlce

- Behavior of materials: constitutive equations, tensile test, linear elastic material properties: Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio

- Application: analysis of stresses in thin-walled pressure vessels

- Plane elasticity: plane stress and plane strain configurations, 3D Mohr's circle

- Yield criteria: yielding and plastic deformation in general configurations, Tresca and Von Mises criteria
