STRESS STRAIN DEFORMATION OF SOLIDS
Rigid and Deformable bodies Strength, Stiffness and Stability Stresses; Tensile,
Compressive and Shear Deformation of simple and compound bars under axial load
Thermal stress Elastic constants Strain energy and unit strain energy Strain energy in
uniaxial loads.
BEAMS - LOADS AND STRESSES
Types of beams: Supports and Loads Shear force and Bending Moment in beams
Cantilever, Simply supported and Overhanging beams Stresses in beams Theory of
simple bending Stress variation along the length and in the beam section Effect of shape
of beam section on stress induced Shear stresses in beams Shear flow
TORSION
Analysis of torsion of circular bars Shear stress distribution Bars of Solid and hollow
circular section Stepped shaft Twist and torsion stiffness Compound shafts Fixed and
simply supported shafts Application to close-coiled helical springs Maximum shear stress
in spring section including Wahl Factor Deflection of helical coil springs under axial loads
Design of helical coil springs stresses in helical coil springs under torsion loads
BEAMDEFLECTION
Elastic curve of Neutral axis of the beam under normal loads Evaluation of beam deflection
and slope: Double integration method, Macaulay Method, and Moment-area Method
Columns End conditions Equivalent length of a column Euler equation Slenderness
ratio Rankine formula for columns
ANALYSIS OF STRESSES IN TWO DIMENSIONS
Biaxial state of stresses Thin cylindrical and spherical shells Deformation in thin
cylindrical and spherical shells Biaxial stresses at a point Stresses on inclined plane
Principal planes and stresses Mohrs circle for biaxial stresses Maximum shear stress -
Strain energy in bending and torsion.
