Grading Policy
THIS COURSE SYLLABUS WAS UP-DATED OCTOBER 10, 2007
The students grades are based on weekly quizzes along with projects that are assigned during each marking period. All quizzes are valued at 100 points each and are added to the grades that the student obtains on each of the assigned projects, then the grand total is divided by the total number of grades aquired during that specific marking period.
Homework Policy
The home work that the students are responsible for are the out of class projects. They are required to do research from numerous sources that may include the library, internet and periodicals. The gathered information is to be included in the students submitted projects.
Test Policy
There is no final exam in the course as of 12/05 as per. Dr. Williams directive.
Quiz Policy
All quizzes are based on material that is covered in class on a daily basis. Students that may have missed a class are responsible to make up the missed material prior to the start of school the day they return. All quizzes are based on an open book policy and include any notes that the student has recorded during class periods. Any missed quizzes are to be made up on the students first day back to school prior to the start of classes on that day. The student is responsible be at my door between 7:00 am and 7:20 am for the quiz that they missed.
Projects
The projects that each student is required to submit includes the following but may not be limited to the listed ones below.
World Trade Center disaster and collapse.
Kansas City walkway collapse.
Tacoma narrows bridge collapse.
N.Y.S. Thruway Schoharie creek bridge collapse.
Tooth pick bridge construction,team project.
Roller coaster construction research project.
Power transmission tower design, construction and testing.
Earth-quake structure design, construction and testing.
Balsa-wood design and construction,team project.
Course Outline
The Material Testing course introduces the student to numerious parts of engineering,theory and practices used today at the college entry level. The course content is intended to set a general groundwork for the individual who intends to pursue an engineering discipline at a two or four-year institution.
Topics include but are not limited to the following areas: types of testing equipment, simple stresses, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, timbertypes along with various types of concrete media. Also included will be stress strain theory, moment of inertia, vectors, beam and column design, expansion and contraction principles and the use of internal pressure measurments.
I- Math Review - area, volume, weight relationships and calculations.
II- Calculations using multiplication, division, square root, cube root, line systems and exponents.
III- Testing Machines - the different types of tests and testing equipment along with numerous types of specimens used in the engineering lab.
IV- Simple Machines - lever and theory of movements.
V- Simple Stresses - tension, compression, shear, torsion and combined stresses.
VI- Materials - metals and non-metals, ferrous, non-ferrous, timber types and the numerous types of concrete used today.
VII- Stress/Strain - unit stress, unit strain, elastic limit, Hooke's Law, ultimate load, factors of safety(mechanical & architectural), safe working stresses and modulus of elasticity.
VIII- Centroids - geometric shapes, structural shapes and composite shapes.
IX- Moment of Inertia - uniform shapes, non-uniform shapes and extreme fiber materials.
X- Vectors - mathematical and graphical solutions, resultants, components, equilibrate forces, ect.
XI- Section of Modulus - use of AISC manual to size beams, calculating S values with I/C. Sizing structural, built-up steel and timber shapes.
XII- Simple Single Overhung and Double Overhung Beam Designing
(cantilever).Reactions, types of loading (concentrates, uniformly distributed), shear diagrams, zero shear, bending moment diagrams, M max. beam formulas (for simple only), deflection for simple and cantilever beams.
XIII- Column Design - radius of gyration, slenderness ratio, end conditions. Euler and Rankine formulas.
XIV- Riveting - types of riviting, advantages, types of joints, plate shear, plate tension, plate bearing, rivet shear (single and double) along with their efficiency.
XV- Welding - types of welding, advantages and types of weld joints. High strength and low strength welds.
XVI- Expansion and Contraction - creep, "D" length and stress build up conditions.
XVII- Internal Pressure - longitudinal and treansverse loads.
XVIII- Reading Instruments - dial calipers (digital and standard dial styles), strain gauges, scales, micrometer and Rockwell Hardness Testing Machine.
