ME0204E MECHANICS OF SOLIDS 3 2 0 4(Use of approved design data book is permitted)

PURPOSE

To familiarize the students with the fundamentals of deformation, stresses, strains instructural elements.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVESStudents will be able to

Know the concepts of stress and strain

Analyze the beam of different cross sections for shear force, bending moment, slopeand deflection

Understand the concepts necessary to design the structural elements and pressure

vessels

CONCEPT OF STRESSES AND STRAINSConcept of stress and strain, Hooke's law - Tension, Compression, and Shear, stress-strain

diagram - Poisson's ratio, elastic constants and their relationship - Deformation of simple and

compound bars - Thermal stresses. Principal plane, principal stress, maximum shearing stress

- Uniaxial, biaxial state of stress - Mohr's circle for plane stresses.

ANALYSIS OF BEAMS

Beams: Types and Transverse loadings - shear force and bending moment diagrams for

cantilevers, simply supported and over hanging beams. Theory of pure bending: Bendingstresses in simple and composite beams. Shear stress distribution in beams of different

sections.

TORSION OF SHAFTS AND SPRINGS

Theory of pure torsion, torsion of circular shafts, simple problems - Type of springs,stiffness, springs in series, springs in parallel, stresses and deflections in helical springs and

leaf springs - Design of helical springs and leaf springs.

DEFLECTION OF BEAMS

Slope and deflection of cantilever, simply supported, fixed beam by double integrationmethod - Macauley's method - Moment area method - Strain energy method - Castigliano's

theorem.

COLUMN AND STRUTS

Member subjected to combined bending and axial loads, Euler's theory, Crippling load,Rankine's theory. Cylinders And Shells - Thin cylinder, thin spherical shells under internal

pressure - Thick cylinders - Lame's equation - Shrink fit and compound cylinders.
