Exam 1 will take place on Wednesday Feb. 18 from 6-8 pm. We will be in MEC 341. The content of the exam is everything we’ve covered in the first 4 chapters of the book, except thermal stress. Pretty much everything else is fair game. I expect to have 4 problems, and I will write the exam so that time will hopefully not be a significant factor for you.
This table summarizes the relevant digital materials for this exam (click here to access the “Publisher’s Videos”):
| Chapter | Lecture Video | Pulse Pen Recording | Student Solutions (PDF, JPG) | Publisher’s Videos |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Stress | Module 2, Module 3 | Module 2, Module 3 | Problem 2-16 (1 & 2) | 7 total, plus Prob. 1-89 |
| 2. Strain | Module 4 | Module 4 | Problem 3-30 (1 & 2), Problem 3-39 | 2 total |
| 3. Mechanical Properties | Module 5, Module 6 | Module 5, Module 6 | Problem 3-30 (1 & 2), Problem 3-39 | 7 total |
| 4. Axial Loading | Module 7, Module 8 | Module 7, Module 8 | Problem 4-5, Problem 4-8 (page 1, page 2) | 8 total |

Other administrative functions. You can bring 1 sheet of paper (8.5 x 11) with writing on ONE side. Use it to write formulas, equations, examples, etc. Also, bring a calculator and a PENCIL with ERASER. We will be taking the exam using Prof. Bloomfield’s TPEGS tablet grading system, so be prepared to bubble in the forms.

On chapter 4, will sections on “inelastic axial deformation” and “residual stress” show up on the exam? Will you provide us with Fig. 4-24, 4-25 to use for stress concentration calculations? Are four problems like hw problems are is there a “conceptual problem”? Are we allowed to bring personal notes to use during the test? Music? Thanks for clarifying

Will we be allowed a formula sheet for the exam?

We have not covered inelastic… and residual stress, so they will not be on the exam. For any problems involving stress concentrations, I will furnish the relevant figures to you. The four problems will be from our book, or from a previous edition of our book. There will not be a separate “conceptual” question. If you want to listen to music, that’s okay. But clearly this activity is pledged…we have alot of portable, digital content for this class, so obviously it is not permissible to access any of that material during the exam.

What was the number of the problem with a brass column a bit higher than 2 steel pipes that would eventually all support a load if enough yielding could occur? I can’t find that module.

Looks like 4-41.
