Syllabus

Introduction – Mechanical behaviour of materials, tension, compression and shear stresses, axially loaded members, torsion, beam bending, transverse shear, combined loading, and impact loading. Deflections of beams, energy methods, analysis of stress and strain, stress transformation, applications of plane stress, pressure vessel, column buckling, and statically indeterminate structures.

Course objectives

After taking this course, the students will be able to:
  1. Understand the mechanics of solids, which examines the stresses, strains, and displacements in structures made of various materials acted on by a variety of different loads.
  2. Be able to differentiate and analyse structures with axial, lateral, torsional, and combined loading.
  3. Become familiar to be able to think about and solve problems that are statically indeterminate.
  4. Understand stress, strain, and their transformation.
  5. Become familiar with column buckling and pressure vessel problem.
