The primary purpose of the laboratory component of the introduction to mechanics II course is to provide fundamental understanding of experimental methods used to determine the magnitudes of stress and strain acting in a material. Specifically, this course will build on your knowledge from ENGR 006 to further help you to understand the concepts of stress, strain, and deformation; to compute relevant components of stress, strain and deformation during common loading conditions seen in structures; and to demonstrate how material properties and structural geometry contribute to stress, strain and deformation using governing equations. The course is structured to integrate classroom lectures with lab work, ensuring a strong grasp of the theoretical concepts behind the experiments.
