Lecture Notes

 

The official class website is http://courses.engr.illinois.edu/tam251/

Relationship between internal stresses and deformations produced by external forces acting on deformable bodies, and design principles based on mechanics of solids: normal stresses, shear stresses, and deformations produced by tensile, compressive, torsional, and bending loading of members; beam deflections; elastic energy and impact; multi-dimensional stress states; buckling of columns.

Big Idea:

Solid materials deform and break. The extrinsic relation of force and displacement is governed by intrinsic material measures of stress and strain. The challenge is to connect the extrinsic to the intrinsic.

There is no required textbook for this class. However, theses texts are very useful

 

The total score for the course is computed with the following weights:

Computer-based Quizzes (PraireLearn)

Online Homework (PraireLearn)

Discussion worksheets

Lecture participation (iClicker)

Final Exam

40%

15%

10%

5%

30%

Retake quizzes: Optional retake quizzes are available in the week following each first-chance quiz. If you choose to take the retake quiz, the quiz score will be 90% of the higher scores + 10% of the lower score (0.9*max(first_chance_score, retake_score)+0.1*min(first_chance_score, retake_score)). If you do not take the first-chance-quiz, then your score will be 90% of the retake score.

Discussion: Students can drop one of the lowest discussion grades.

Lecture attendance: Students can drop 6 lecture attendance grades (clicker).

The total score s corresponds to final grades as follows.

97% ≤ s < 100% A+ 93% ≤ s < 97%  A 90% ≤ s < 93%  A-
87% ≤ s < 90% B+ 83% ≤ s < 87%  B 80% ≤ s < 83%  B-
77% ≤ s < 80% C+ 73% ≤ s < 77%  C 70% ≤ s < 73%  C-
67% ≤ s < 70% D+ 63% ≤ s < 67%  D 60% ≤ s < 63%  D-
s < 60%
