506 Stability of Structures. [Thornton.]

Lectures 10-11, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

In this more advanced course in the principles of applied mechanics
careful studies are made of the continuous girder, of the cable
in its applications to aerial lines for electrical and power transmission
and to suspension bridges, of the elastic arch as a structural
elements of the hook and ring and chain, of thin and thick pipes under
fluid pressure, of the analogous problems arising in shrinkage and
forced fits, of whirling discs and cylinders, and of vibratory strains
and stresses arising in beams and shafts and other structural elements.
Free use is made of the principle of least work in the analysis of
complex structural problems. Illustrations are drawn as far as possible
from standard modern engineering practice.

[Required, Winter, in Courses I, II, III (4).]
