Review of elementary mechanics; dynamics of a particle; moments of
inertia; revolving bodies; rolling bodies; theory of work and energy;
collision of elastic solids; dynamics of the Steam Engine.

Weekly problems are assigned for solution by graphical and analytical
methods.

528. Strength of Materials.

Fundamental laws of stress and strain; straining actions and stresses
in ties and struts, beams and shafts, reinforced concrete slabs and girders;
deflections in simple, restrained and continuous girders; columns under
axial and eccentric loads. Laboratory course, 660.

529. Hydraulics.

Equilibrium of fluids, applied to the analysis and design of thin and
thick shells and pipes, dams and weirs: Motion of fluids and discharges
from orifices, weir notches, pipes, canals, and rivers. Principles of linear
and angular momentum with applications to the analysis and design of hydraulic
motors and pumps. Laboratory course, 680.

Laboratory studies in Strength of Materials and Hydraulics are given
in the Classes in Experimental Engineering.
