1. Catalog Description: Credits: 3; Bars, beams, thin-walled structures, and simple continua in the elastic and inelastic range. Virtual work approaches, elastic energy principles, plastic limit theorems, creep deformation procedures, introduction to instability and fracture mechanics. Design applications.
2. Pre-requisites and Co-requisites: EGM 3520
3. Course Objectives: The primary objective of this course is to understand the mechanics of materials method and its application to and understanding of structural responses to various loading conditions. The structures (e.g., curved beams) and loading conditions (e.g., unsymmetric bending) considered are more advanced compared to an introductory course in mechanics of materials.

Policy on Homework Assignments: assignments and reading materials will be posted on the class website at http://design1.mae.ufl.edu/~nkim/egm5533.html. All homeworks must be submitted before starting the next week class.
Miscellaneous Policies: Students will be held responsible for knowledge of all scheduling and policy announcements made in class. You may call Dr. Kim or send him e-mail during regular working hours.
16. Grading: 3 Examinations: 80%, Homework: 20%.
17. Grading Scale: 90-100 = A, 85-89 = B+, 80-84 = B, 75-79=C+, 70-74=C, 65-69=D+, 60-64=D, <60=E.
18. Make-up Exam Policy:
There will be no make-up exams. Unless there is an extreme medical emergency that can be documented, no credit will be given for a missed exam. It is the student¡¯s responsibility to make sure he/she is available to take the exam. All exams with the exception of the Final Exam will be given during the scheduled class times.
19. Honesty Policy:
All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action.
