Mechanics of Materials, 5th Edition
William F. Riley, Leroy D. Sturges, Don H. Morris
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
ISBN: 0-471-58644-7
Course Description:
In this course the concept of stress and strain is covered and includes topics such as normal stress and strain, shear stress and strain, Hooke’s Law, and stress transformation. Deformations in axially loaded members are included with some focus on statically indeterminate members. Torsionally loaded members and flexural members are covered. Shear and bending moment diagrams are emphasized with an introduction to member design. Deflection of beams and buckling of columns is introduced.

Homework
Homework will be assigned during class times or on the web page or via e-mail. Collection of homework will generally be biweekly and will be announced either electronically or in class at least 2 days prior to collection. No late homework will be accepted without prior arrangement. While homework will generally only be collected biweekly it is highly recommended that homework problems be solved in a pace consistent with the lectures. The homework must be neat and stapled in the upper left hand corner.
Only a select few (at least one) of the turned in homework problems in each (biweekly) homework set will be graded for correctness. The remaining homework problems will be checked to ensure there was a serious attempt made in solving the problems. Your homework grade for each set will be calculated according to the below equation. The semester homework grade will be calculated by adding the grades obtained on each homework set.
HW grade (for each set): {[X/Xmax + Y/Ymax]*1/2}*T
Where:
X: Points earned on problem(s) graded for correctness
Xmax: maximum number of points on problem(s) graded for correctness
Y: Number of problems for which you made a serious attempt and that were not graded for correctness
Ymax: total number of problems assigned and not graded for correctness
T: Total number of problems in the homework set
Example: 6 problems are collected in one set. One problem is graded with a max score of 8. You obtain 7 points on the graded homework problem and complete 4 more problems successfully. Your HW grade for the set is then:
X = 7; Xmax = 8; Y = 4; Ymax = 5; T = 6
Grade = {[7/8+4/5]*1/2}*6 = 5.025
Quizzes:
Quizzes will be closed book and closed notes with the exception of approved formula sheet. Each quiz is worth the same towards the final grade, unless differently specified.
Midterm Exam
Tests will be closed book and closed notes with the exception of approved formula sheet.
Final Exam
The final exam will be comprehensive. It will be closed book and closed notes with the exception of approved formula sheet.

F / Less than 60%
Pledged work:
You may consult with your fellow students if you have difficulties with the homework problems – in fact, discussion is encouraged. However, direct copying of the homework problems from solutions of any kind will be deemed an honor violation. Each student is expected to fully comply with the Honor Code:NO CHEATING IN ANY WAY OR
FORM. If a student is caught cheating, s/he will receive an AUTOMATIC F for the course. Moreover, if a student sees someone else cheating, s/he should REPORT the incident to the instructor. Plagiarism is of course considered a form of cheating.
