Professor Tuttle joined the University of Washington as an Assistant Professor in 1985, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1990 and Full Professor in 1995. He received a BS degree (1975) in Mechanical Engineering and an MS degree in Engineering Mechanics (1978), both from Michigan Tech, and a Ph.D in Engineering Mechanics in 1984 from Virginia Tech. Professor Tuttle has been an Adjunct Professor of Industrial Engineering since 2000. He served as Chair of the ME Department from 2004-10.

Professor Tuttle is currently Director of the Center for Advanced Materials in Transport Aircraft Structures (AMTAS). AMTAS is a consortium of 6 universities and is funded primarily by the Federal Aviation Administration. The primary focus of the center is safety and certification of the advanced composite structures used in modern transport aircraft.

Professor Tuttle has been Associate and Senior Technical Editor of Experimental Techniques, and has been a member of the Editorial Advisory Boards of Experimental Techniques and the Journal on Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials. He co-edited the Manual on Experimental Methods for Mechanical Testing of Composites (1st edition), and authored the textbook Structural Analysis of Polymeric Composite Materials (1st and 2nd editions).

Professor Tuttle is a member of several professional engineering societies, and is particularly active in the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM). Professor Tuttle is a past-president of SEM, and became an SEM Fellow in 2005.

Equilibrium of particles, rigid bodies, frames, trusses, beams, columns; stress and strain analysis of rods, beams, pressure vessels. E MCH 210 E MCH 210 Statics and Strength of Materials (5) This course is a combination of E MCH 211 and E MCH 213. Students taking E MCH 210 may not take E MCH 211 or 213 for credit, or vice versa. Students will learn how forces and moments acting on rigid and deformable bodies affect reactions both inside and outside the bodies. Students will study the external reactions, and their inter-relationships; the discipline of statics (E MCH 211), as well as the associated internal forces and deformations, quantified by their corresponding stresses and strains; the discipline of strength of materials (E MCH 213). The student will be able to analyze and design simple structural components based bon deflection, strength, or stability. Students will be prepared to analyze and design simple structures and take upper division courses in mechanics of materials and structural analysis and design. Students will communicate their analysis through the use of free-body diagrams and logically arranged equations.

Students taking E MCH 210H may not take E MCH 211 and 213 for credit, or vice versa. The same general topics are covered as in E MCH 210, but in a more advanced fashion and with more advanced applications. Students will learn how forces and moments acting on rigid and deformable bodies affect reactions both inside and outside the bodies. Students will study the external reactions, and their inter-relationships - the discipline of statics (E MCH 211), as well as the associated internal forces and deformations, quantified by their corresponding stresses and strains - the discipline of strength of materials (E MCH 213). The student will be able to analyze and design simple structural components based on deflection, strength, or stability.

Equilibrium of coplanar force systems; analysis of frames and trusses; noncoplanar force systems; friction; centroids and moments of inertia. E MCH 211 E MCH 211 Statics (3) Engineering Mechanics is the engineering science that relates forces and moments to the motion (displacement, velocity, acceleration) of bodies. The understanding of the concepts of force, moment, and motion is essential to design efficient engineering components ranging from a bridge to a wing strut to a robot arm to the mother board of a computer. Statics (E MCH 211) is the foundational course for both Dynamics (E MCH 212), which is the study of motion and the forces causing motion, and Strength of Materials (E MCH 213), which is the study of deformation and strength design of solids. Statics will provide students with the tools and guidance to master the use of equilibrium equations and Free Body Diagrams (FBD's) and to solve real engineering problems. Students should leave this class with the ability to logically approach a variety of static engineering problems, to translate a physical situation into an analytic model, and to use various mathematical tools to determine desired information. Course topics include: introduction and vectors, problem solving, force vectors, particle equilibrium, moments/couples, equivalent systems, distributed loads/FBDs, rigid body equilibrium, trusses, frames and machines, 3-D equilibrium, friction, centroids and center of gravity, and moments of inertia.

Motion of a particle; relative motion; kinetics of translation, rotation, and plane motion; work-energy; impulse-momentum. E MCH 212 E MCH 212 Dynamics (3) Dynamics (E MCH 212) is the study of forces causing motion and, at least in engineering, its primary goal is the determination of loads on moving structures for the purpose of design. Dynamics will provide students with the tools and guidance to analytically model a wide variety of mechanical and structural systems. In Dynamics, this is done by drawing free-body diagrams of the relevant parts of the system and then applying the laws of Newton and Euler, laws governing material behavior, and equations describing the geometry of motion of points and bodies (kinematics) to those free-body diagrams to obtain the equations governing the motion of the system. Once a system has been modeled, Dynamics will also provide students with the tools to obtain desired information from those models by solving the equations governing the motion of the system. Topics covered in Dynamics include: kinematics of particles, application of Newton's laws to particles, energy and momentum methods for particles, kinematics of rigid bodies, application of the laws of Newton and Euler to rigid bodies, and energy and momentum methods for rigid bodies.

In addition to what is done in Dynamics (E MCH 212), students in Honors Dynamics will typically do a project in which they design an experiment and use what they have learned to compare theory with experiment. They will also make use of modern mathematical software to solve the nonlinear differential equations obtained in their analysis of mechanical and structural systems to obtain further understanding of the behavior of these systems.

Axial stress and strain; torsion; stresses in beams; elastic curves and deflection of beams; combined stress; columns. E MCH 213 E MCH 213 Strength of Materials (3) In this elementary course on the strength of materials the response of some simple structural components is analyzed in a consistent manner using i) equilibrium equations, ii) material law equations, and iii) the geometry of deformation. The components analyzed include rods subjected to axial loading, shafts loaded in torsion, slender beams in bending, thin-walled pressure vessels, slender columns susceptible to buckling, as well as some more complex structures and loads where stress transformations are used to determine principal stresses and the maximum shear stress. The free body diagram is indispensable in each of these applications for relating the applied loads to the internal forces and moments and plotting internal force diagrams. Material behavior is restricted to be that of materials in the linear elastic range. A description of the geometry of deformation is necessary to determine internal forces and moments in statically indeterminate problems. The underlying mathematics are boundary value problems where governing differential equations are solved subject to known boundary conditions. Students will be able to:a) Identify kinematic modes of deformation (axial, bending, torsional, buckling and two dimensional) and associated stress states on infinitesimal elements and sketch stress distribution over cross sections b) Analyze determinate and indeterminate problems to determine fundamental stress states associated with kinematic modes of deformation c) Apply strength of materials equations (and formulas) to the solution of engineering and design problems d) Recognize and extract fundamental modes in combined loading and do the appropriate stress analysis e) Extract material properties (modulus of elasticity, yield stress, Poisson's ratio) from data and apply these in the solution of problems f) Calculate the geometric properties (moments of inertia, centroids, etc) of structural elements and apply these in the solution of problems.which will enable them to solve real engineering problems.
