Syllabus:

The strength of a material is its ability to resist external forces without breaking. Strength of Materials is the foundation for Engineering design courses. The course covers material behaviour, stresses, strains and deformations with simple applications in engineering designs. Topics to be chosen from: elastic and elastic-plastic behaviour; plane stress and strain; constitutive relationships, principal stress and strain; failure criteria; stresses in thin-walled pressure vessels; bending and shearing stresses in beams; Mohr's circle; deflections of beams; Euler buckling; short and long columns; torsion of solid and hollow circular sections; introduction to statistical indeterminacy and simple redundant structures; work and strain energy concepts.
