12-232 Solid Mechanics Lab

3 units, Carnegie Mellon University

The deformation of solids due to external forces is important in many civil engineering applications, including structural engineering, pavement engineering, and others. This lab course allows students to see how solids deform and understand the connection between the theory they learn in the classroom and the experiments they conduct. Students will learn the basics of conducting experiments, analyzing the resulting data, drawing insights on the observed behavior from the data analysis, and preparing lab reports to document the observed behavior. Students will learn about laboratory procedures and analog and digital measurement.
