Course Contents
Free body diagram, Modelling of supports, Conditions for equilibrium, friction.
Force-deformation relationship and geometric compatibility (for small deformations) with illustrations
through simple problems on axially loaded members and thin-walled pressure vessels,
Force analysis (axial force, shear force, bending moment and twisting moment diagrams) of slender
members (singularity functions not to be used)
Concept of stress at a point, Transformation of stresses at a point, principal stresses, Mohr's circle
(only for plane stress case), displacement field, Concept of strain at a point, Transformation of strain at a
point, Principal strains, Mohr's circle(only for plane strain case), Strain rosette, Modelling of problems as
a plane stress or plane strain problem.
Discussion of experimental results on 1-D stress-strain curve, Concepts of isotropy, orthotropy,
anisotropy, Generalized Hooke's law (without and with thermal strains), Complete equations of elasticity,
Torsion of circular shafts and thin-walled tubes (plastic analysis and rectangular shafts not to be
discussed).
Bending of beams with symmetric cross section (Normal and shear stresses) (shear center and plastic
analysis not to be discussed).
Combined stresses, Yield criteria.
Deflection due to bending, Integration of the moment-curvature relationship for simple boundary
conditions, Superposition principle (singularity functions not to be used).
Concepts of strain energy and complementary strain energy for simple structural elements (those under
axial load, shear force, bending moment and torsion), castigliano's theorems for deflection analysis and
indeterminate problems.
Concept of elastic instability, Introduction to column buckling, Euler's formula (post-buckling
behaviour not to be covered).
