This course will introduce the student to the principles of applied statics and strength of materials as they relate to weldments, weld testing, material testing and related rigging. Laboratory projects will involve the use of non-destructive and destructive testing equipment to determine the forces acting upon rigid bodies under a static load, as well as the mechanical properties of materials. Prerequisites: MATH111M and MATH135M or higher and WELD213M or ADMT220M. Corequisite: PHYS100M or higher.
