Spring 2011

Instructor: Nick Bertozzi Office: DW 109 D Telephone: 603.577.6640 Office Hours: 5:00 7:00 PM, Tu/Th or by appointment Email: bertozzi@dwc.edu COURSE DESCRIPTION This course provides a description of fundamental concepts and basic problem-solving techniques in engineering mechanics such as stress and strain, torsion of circular shafts, Mohrs circle, bending and deflection of beams, combined loading, column buckling and welded and riveted joints. PREREQUISITE EG200 Statics TEXTBOOK Required: Mechanics of Materials, 7th Edition, by R.C. Hibbeler, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2008, ISBN: 9780132209915 or 9780132209918 (with online companion website access). COURSE OBJECTIVE This course is intended to extend the students study of engineering mechanics beyond statics to the concepts of stress, strain, deflection and continued work on problem-solving skills of typical structural components such as shafts, columns and beams. Students will also be introduced to finite element analysis software for the purpose of demonstration and visualization. COURSE OUTCOMES (measurements in parentheses)

1) The students will become skillful in drawing free body diagrams clearly differentiating between a system and its 2) 3) 4) 5)
surroundings, external, internal forces and moments. (Homework, quizzes, test, final) The students will understand the fundamental concepts of stress, strain and material properties. (Homework, quizzes, test, final) The students will learn and be skillful in stress analysis of axial loads, torsions and beam bending loads. (Homework, quizzes, test, final) The students will be able to design typical engineering components such as shafts and beams. (Homework, quizzes, final) The students will be exposed to typical engineering programming language such as Matlab and Mathcad. (Homework, computer program)

CLASS ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION In this course you will be expected to act in a professional manner. Among other things this includes showing up on time prepared for the task at hand. It includes being on time for class, and also for the additional outside meetings you will have with your group. To encourage you toward this end, students with perfect attendance will have 3 points added onto their final average. For every unexcused absence you will have 1 point deducted from your final average. (Note that if you are more than five minutes late for class or lab you will be marked absent) On the other hand, if I am more than five minutes late for a class, I will add an additional point to the average of each student present. HOMEWORK AND TEST POLICY Homework will not be accepted late unless prior arrangements have been made. In the same way, make-ups for tests and final exam will NOT be allowed unless arranged ahead of time. ACADEMIC HONESTY While it is assumed that no student/group would submit any material, be it homework, quizzes, exams, or any other assignments for grading which is not solely her/his own work, the following policy shall be implemented in cases of academic dishonesty: First offense, all persons involved will receive no credit for the assignment or test; Second offense, all persons involved will receive a grade of F for the course. Please note that I am required to report all offenses to the Provost. However, the homework or other assignments are encouraged to be done in a group setting with discussions and change of ideas, as long as understandings are achieved, rather than simply copying. STUDENT WITH DISABILITIES (ADA Compliance) If you wish to receive Academic Accommodations at Daniel Webster College, please contact the Office of Academic Affairs at academicaffairs@dwc.edu or 577-6615 to arrange a meeting within the first two weeks of the semester. Should you not wish to receive accommodations, or fail to arrange a meeting, you will be subject to all academic standards in your courses. Please note: In order for a student to be accommodated for a disability under ADA law, the individual seeking disability accommodations must disclose to the appointed disability coordinator. Disclosure to a staff, faculty or other campus affiliate does not determine eligibility or grant a student reasonable accommodations. PEER-TUTORING RESOURCES Daniel Webster College offers various tutoring resources for all students to utilize. If you feel you need tutoring in a course that you are currently enrolled, please contact the Dean of your School of study to make an appointment to review your needs. Your Dean will work closely with you and our Peer-Tutoring Coordinator to arrange appropriate tutoring as well as if deemed necessary to develop an academic plan with you that will assist with keeping you on track to achieve your educational goals. Should you need Writing or Math/Science Support, you will be referred appropriately to the

Writing Center and the Math/Science Support Center for further assistance. COURSE OUTLINE AND HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS Homework problems from the text will be assigned on a regular basis and subject to change. A limited number of other assignments not in the text might be given. It is expected that the interested student will endeavor to solve these problems. Remember that you cannot adequately learn this material without practicing the methods through homework. Week of: Jan 17 Jan 24 Jan 31 Feb 7 Chapter 1. Stress 2. Strain 3. Properties 4.
