Stress and strain in elastic solids such as beams, columns, bars, shafts etc.. Combined stresses; statically indeterminate beams.
The course is designed to provide students with knowledge on the concepts of stress at a point, strain, stress-strain relations, stress transformation, and failure theories. Students are trained to apply these concepts and theories to solve engineering problems. The problems include calculation of stress, strain, and deformation in bars, thin-walled pressure vessels, shafts, beams. In addition, buckling of columns, statically indeterminate problems in bars, shafts, and beams, and combined stress problems including the use 2-D and 3-D Mohr's circles are studied.
Four 105 min. lectures per week.
