DFT 112 - Engineering Strength of Materials

5 Credits
This course leads students into calculating maximum stress and failure modes when loading scenarios are known. Students will calculate maximum stress and differentiate tensile strength, shear strength and flexural strength. Students will also use material property data to determine if design components are strong enough for their application or will fail. Corequisite(s): DFT 111

Course Outcomes

Determine maximum tensile, shear, and flexural stress from load scenarios.
Analyze how fatigue effects component life and longevity.
Identify material property data.
