Aneuenho@calpoly - Edu: Arce 223: Mechanics of Structural Members

This document provides information about the ARCE 223: Mechanics of Structural Members course offered in Spring Quarter 2008 at California Polytechnic State University. The instructor is Ansgar Neuenhofer and the class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8-9 am in Building 38, Room 227. The course covers stresses on cross-sections, stress transformations, shear flow, flexural deformation, and Euler buckling. Student performance will be evaluated based on homework, quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam.

ARCE 223: MECHANICS OF STRUCTURAL MEMBERS

Prerequisite:
Corequisite:

ARCE 212
ARCE 351

Office:

Building 21, Room 219 C, Phone: 756-1343

Office Hours:

M 9-10, W 2-4, TH 11-1 and by appointment

E-mail:

[email protected]

Textbook:

Beer, Ferdinand P. et al., Mechanics of Materials, McGraw Hill, 4th edition.

Lectures:

MWF 8-9.00, Building 38, Room 227

Grading:

Grading will be based on the following scheme:


Scheme 1:
10% Homework
40% Quizzes
20% Midterm
30% Final

Scheme 2:
10% Homework
20% Quizzes
10% Midterm
60% Final

The grade received will be the higher calculated from the two schemes.
Lowest quiz and homework grades will be dropped. Late assignments will receive 50%
credit within the first week, no credit thereafter. No make-up exams except for
documented medical or family emergencies. The grade for the laboratory portion of the
class is factored into the overall grade for ARCE 223 (75% lecture, 25% laboratory).
Learning Outcomes
1.

Ability to formulate the theory behind and to calculate the stresses on a cross-section/2D plane under various
conditions.

2.

Formulate and apply stress transformations and related extensions to principal stresses and maximum in-plane
shear stress.

3.

Compute shear flow and location of shear center for any thin-walled cross-section.

4.

Understand the derivation and application of flexural deformation using basic principles
A. Slope and displacement of a beam by integration.
B. Slope and displacement of a beam by moment-area.
C. Indeterminate beam reactions using moment-area.

5.

Formulation and application of the Euler buckling formula.
