Q Why another course after Mechanics of Solids ?
2 Exams (Mid-term Sep 19* & Final Nov 25*).
8 − 10 Practice Problem sets (submission not required).
25% Lab Component, 25% Quizzes (4), 25% Mid-term exam, 25% Final exam.
It is strongly encouraged that students attend all lectures, labs and tutorials.
Grading Policy: Score of 40% or less is an F grade.
Usage of mobiles, head/ear phones and laptops is not allowed during lectures and
tutorials. Bring your own calculators for tutorials and exams.
Don’t be late to lectures, labs or tutorials (< 5 mins permitted).
Plagiarism in any form guarantees an F. Please read the Student Honor Code† .

Q What is fundamentally different between ES221 and ME333 ? 1 Strain at a point, strain-displacement relations in Cartesian coordinates,
compatibility equations - [Practice Problems 1]

2 Stress at a point, equilibrium equations, 3-D state of stress, principal stresses and
maximum shear stress, stress invariants - [Practice Problems 2]

3 Stress-Strain relations, Concept of yielding - [Practice Problems 3 & 4]

4 Torsion & Torsion of non-circular shafts - [Practice Problems 5]

5 Bending, unsymmetrical bending, shear flow and shear center; Symmetric bending
of curved beams - [Practice Problems 6, 7 & 8]
