This document provides information about the MECH 6441 Stress Analysis in Mechanical Design course offered at Concordia University during the Fall 2014 semester. The course is taught by Dr. R. Ganesan and covers fundamental concepts of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional stress analysis to design mechanical components made of metal. Topics include stresses, strains, stress-strain relations, and applications like beams, shafts, pressure vessels and more. Students will be evaluated based on a midterm exam, team project, and final exam. Reference materials and textbooks are also listed.

OBJECTIVE:
To teach the fundamental concepts, principles, formulations, and methods of two-dimensional and three-dimensional stress analysis for design of mechanical and structural components, made of metallic materials, and to demonstrate example applications.
TOPICS
Stresses: Three-Dimensional Stresses; Equilibrium Equations; Stress Transformation; Principal Stresses; Maximum Shear Stress
Strains: Three-Dimensional Strains; Compatibility Equations; Strain Transformation; Principal Strains; Maximum Shear Strain; Volumetric strain
Stress-Strain Relations: Three-Dimensional Constitutive Relations; Temperature Effects
Plane stress and Plane strain Analyses: Equations of elasticity and boundary conditions; Stress Function Formulation; Airys stress function; Displacement Formulation.
Applications: Straight and curved beams, shafts, tubes, pressure vessels, stress concentration problems, and rotating disk-shaft systems.

Mid-term Test: 25% Date and time TBA Team Project (3 students) and presentation: 20% Date and time TBA Final Examination: 55% (Scheduled during the official examination period)
NOTE:
1. Homework assignments will be posted in MOODLE on a (approximately) bi-weekly basis. Assignments carry no marks. However, students are strongly encouraged to solve assignment problems. If a marker is provided by the Department, I will get the submitted assignments marked, and in that case, submit the assignments in class by the due date. After marking, they will be returned in class. Solutions will be posted in MOODLE for each assignment after the corresponding due date.
2. The expectation of originality form must be attached to the front of all assignments and project report.
3. There will be no make-up test for mid-term test.
4. Students who did not write mid-term test due to valid medical reasons will write the final exam for 80% provided they submit to the instructor a valid medical note from a doctor/clinic.
5. Only particular calculator models will be allowed in ENCS exams, such as, the Sharp EL 531 and the Casio FX-300 MS. The relevant information is available in www.encs.concordia.ca. Make sure you bring any one of the allowed models to the final examination and mid-term test.
6. Cell phones and other electronic devices are not allowed in the exams. Please note that just turning the cell phone off is not ok, it must not be in the student's possession.
7. In the event of extraordinary circumstances beyond the University's control, the content and/or evaluation scheme in this course is subject to change.
