OBJECTIVES, SCOPE AND CONDUCT OF COURSE Stress Analysis is the second course in an integrated two-semester sequence on the mechanics of engineering machines and structures. Students will learn about stress, strain, deflection and failure. Emphasis will be placed on using these concepts to draw practical conclusions regarding the mechanical suitability of machines and structures. Prerequisite courses: 21-259, 24-261, and 33-106. Lectures, recitations and homework are all critical parts of this course. In different ways, they collectively address the material covered by the exams. The textbook will be valuable in that it explains sometimes in more depth and sometimes in an alternative manner material that is covered in lectures. Students in this course are expected to be competent in using Statics (one of the prerequisite courses). As a guide, students should be able to solve the problems from the homework sets and the examinations from 24-261, given in Fall 2013. Statics problem sets and solutions from Fall 2013 are on Blackboard under Assignments. Past Statics and Stress Analysis exams and solutions are on Blackboard under Course Documents.

DESIGN PROJECT There will be a team-design project in this course, including 3 design reviews. Details of the project will be made available early in the semester. Teams will consist of 3 persons. You are encouraged to begin forming teams right away. As soon as you have formed your team, email the names of the team members to the design project TA, Brenna Flatley, at bflatley@andrew.cmu.edu. If you do not think that you will be able to join a team on your own (you are not on campus or do not know other students) or you only have two team members, email Brenna who will assist you. Design Review 1 will be held in the evenings of 2/18, 2/19, 2/20 Design Review 2 will be held in the evenings of 3/25, 3/26, 3/27 Final Competition will be held in the evenings of 4/22, 4/23, 4/24 The section of the course you are enrolled in (A, B, C, or D) has nothing to do with the design reviews. Before each review, each team will have a chance to choose which evening to attend. All team members must attend the design review together. All work on the prototype will have to be completed by Monday night prior to the design review. Additional details on the team design project will follow.

HOMEWORK Homework will be assigned weekly. Problem sets are due at the beginning of class on most Tuesdays. Homework will be picked up shortly after the start of class by the grader, and no credit will be given for homework not picked up then. Homework will be graded based on apparent effort. You will get credit for a problem, if, judging by what you have handed in, you made a good faith effort to do all or most of the problem. If a problem has more than one part, you can get credit for each part of the problem. You must complete 75% of the homework in order to pass the course. Problem solutions will be posted after the problem set is due. You should view homework problems as an opportunity to learn the material. You should attempt problems on your own and work with other students. As a guideline, by the time of an exam, you should be able to comfortably solve on your own problems such as those in the previous homework sets and exams.

FORMAT OF HOMEWORK You are expected to hand in neat, legible homework solutions, namely: Write on only one side of each page Diagrams should be drawn and labeled so they can be clearly understood.

Any problem that involves writing down equations of equilibrium must include free body diagrams of the body or bodies whose equilibrium is being investigated.

EXAMINATIONS There will be four examinations spaced throughout the semester. You must bring a calculator to the examinations. Exams will be closed book and closed notes, but a sheet of relevant equations will be sent out in advanced, and provided with the exam. Examinations will be held on the following days: Thursday, February 6, 2014 Thursday, February 27, 2014 Thursday, April 3, 2014 Thursday, May 1, 2014 Students are expected to conform to the Carnegie Mellon University Code and meet the highest standards of personal ethical and moral conduct posssible. EXAMINATION GRADING POLICY

If after consulting the posted exam solutions, you want the grading of a problem to be revisited, hand back the exam with a note explaining why you believe the grading was incorrect. We reserve the right to reconsider the grade on any problem in the exam. Requests for grade changes should be made within one week after exams are returned.

FINAL GRADE In order to be considered for a passing grade, you must participate in the team design project to the instructors satisfaction, your Homework Score must be at least 75%, and you must obtain an average exam score of 60 or higher. Under those conditions, your final score will be calculated as follows: Final score = [0.75*(Average Exam Score) +0.15*(Design Project Score)] + 0.1*( Homework Score) Final grades will be assigned according to the following scale: R < 60 60 ! D < 70 70 ! C < 80 80 ! B < 90 90 ! A
