ENGR 0131: Statics for Civil and Environmental Engineers
Basic Engineering Mechanics Statics course that is concerned with the
response at rest of
ENGR 0141: Mechanics of Materials for Civil and Environmental Engineers
A basic Engineering Mechanics course that is concerned with the relationships between external forces applied to a deformable body and the intensity of internal forces acting within the body.
CEE 1370/2370: Intr. to NDE and Structural Health Monitoring
The course serves as the first introduction that most students will
have to a number of important and widely used techniques adopted in
the civil, industrial, and aerospace engineering to assess the integrity
(healthy/faulty status) of the structures. The course includes laboratory
CEE 2360: Dynamics
The course introduces the analysis techniques devoted to study the dynamics of structural systems. The following main topics are covered: 1) Response of linear systems to harmonic, periodic and transient excitations; 2) approximate methods; 3) Principles of dynamics, Hamilton’s principle and Lagrange’s equations; 4) Free and forced vibration of single- and multi-degree of freedom systems; 5) Vibration of continuous systems.
CEE 3330: Stability
The course introduces the analysis techniques devoted to study the elastic stability of structural systems. The following main topics are covered: 1) fundamental concepts of stability analysis; 2) exact buckling solutions for long-slender (Euler/Bernoulli) and shear-deformable (Timoshenko) beam columns; 3) energy based linear and nonlinear finite element solutions to study the buckling of complex frame structures; 4) stability of in-plane loaded shear deformable plates.
