3ME03 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS
Course Learning Objectives :
1. To develop theoretical basis for stress, strain concept in various components
under study
2. To study mechanical behavior of engineering material
3. To familiarize about finding shear force, bending moment, torsion, slope and
deflection of various types of beams with different loading conditions
4. To build the necessary background to apply the knowledge of mechanics of
materials on engineering applications
Course Outcomes : Students will be able to –
1. Determine the stress & strain in the member subjected to axial, bending &
torsional load
2. To observe different types of material behavior such as elastic, plastic, ductile
and brittle
3. Apply SF and BM diagrams to analyse resistance offered by the beam and able
to solve practical problems in real world
4. Apply deflection criteria to check the stability of beam
