OBJECTIVE:

Enable the student to understand the behaviour of deformable structural elements, subjected

to different types of loadings

UNIT I   STRESS, STRAIN AND DEFORMATION OF SOLIDS                             12

Rigid and deformable bodies – Stability, strength and stiffness -  Axial and Shear Stresses –

Deformation of simple and compound bars  –  Thermal stresses  –  Biaxial state of stress  –

Elastic Constants  -   Stresses and deformation of thin cylindrical and spherical shells  – 

Stresses at a point  – Stress tensor  - Stresses on inclined planes  – Principal stresses and

principal planes – Mohr’s circle of stress.

UNIT II   ANALYSIS OF PLANE TRUSSES                                 12

Stability and equilibrium of plane frames  –  perfect frames   -  types of trusses  – Analysis of

forces in truss members  – Method of joints  – Method of tension co-efficient  – Method of

sections. 

UNIT III  BENDING OF BEAMS                                            12

Beams  –  types and transverse loading on beams  –  shear force and bending moment in

beams – Cantilever beams – Simply supported beams and over-hanging beams  - Theory of

simple bending  –  bending stress distribution  –  Load carrying capacity  –  Proportioning of

sections – Leaf springs – Flitched beams – Shear stress distribution.

UNIT IV  TORSION                                                                12

Theory of simple torsion  - Stresses and deformation in circular and hollow shafts – Stepped

shafts – Shafts fixed at both ends – Stresses and deflection in helical springs.

UNIT V  DEFLECTION OF BEAMS                                                    12

Double Integration method – Macaulay’s method – Area moment method – Conjugate beam

method for computation of slopes and deflections in determinate beams.
