Learning Outcomes: Describe the relationship between stress, strain, and modulus of elasticity Calculate the moment of inertia for various cross-sectional shapes Draw free-body diagrams that indicate magnitude and direction of forces Identify structural connections and the loads they carry Analyze beam reactions Identify types of trusses based on structural functions Analyze loads on trusses Locate the centroid of two-dimensional objects Evaluate beam loading and cross sections to determine levels of bending stress Describe and calculate the lateral deflection in a beam Analyze loads and resulting stresses in columns General Topics: Free-body diagrams, structural connections, beam reactions, modulus of elasticity, centroids, and moment of inertia Instruction & Assessment Section 4 Content Section 4 Content Left Section 4 Content Right Supplemental Materials Section 5 Content Section 5 Content Left Section 5 Content Right Section 6 Content Section 6 Content Left Section 6 Content Right Button Content Rail Content 1 Other offerings from Penn Foster College Business Statistics (ICS-0044) Computer Applications (ICS-0167) Earth Science (ICS-0208) Foundation Skills in Math (ICS-0244) Intermediate Algebra (ICS-0254) Introduction to Biology (ICS-0207) Introduction to Business (ICS-0046) Nutrition (ICS-0160) Pre-Calculus (ICS-0240) Principles of Management (ICS-0069) View All Courses Page Content
