OBJECTIVES:
To understand the behaviour of solid materials under various loadings and the subsequent stress-
strain characteristics and to know about the Principal planes and stresses analytically and graphically
using Mohr’s circle.
To get an idea about the various types of beams and their loading conditions along with the shear
force, bending moment graphically and to understand the various theories of bending.
To understand the torsion equation and deflection in the various cross section of the shaft and to
study the different types of springs along with the shear stress including Wahl Factor.
To understand the slope and beam deflection using various methods under normal loads and to study
the column with different end conditions.
To understand the deformation in thin, thick cylindrical and spherical shells subjected to internal
pressure.
To understand the stresses developed in bars, compounds bars, beams, shafts, cylinders and spheres.
