Prof. deVries has been the Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown since 2008, with 25 years of experience in design and engineering management.
Dr. Kelley is an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He received his doctorate in Nuclear and Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University in 2010. Dr. Kelley's expertise and research interests are in the broad subject area of thermal sciences with a particular interest in energy.
Quick-Response Drill for Training in the Identification of Stress Conditions.Courses or sequences of courses in solid mechanics typically provide students with the theoryand skills necessary to calculate stresses in loaded parts. The requisite skill set includes loadanalysis and the application of equations for stress appropriate to the loading situation (axialload, torsion load, bending, etc.) Solving for stress is easiest for students when the loadingsituation is unambiguous or familiar. However, some students struggle with identifying the typeand direction of stress at various locations on a part, and with identifying the location of thehighest stresses. A method is proposed that trains students in identifying stress conditions forloads applied at different places and directions. The method uses images of simple parts withapplied forces or moments, requiring the students to quickly identify the type and direction ofstresses at a given point. A large variety of loading conditions can be covered quickly, andstudents receive immediate corrective feedback.
