STRESSES AND STRAINS: Stress and strain due to axial force, elastic limit, Hooke's law-factor of safety - stepped bars, uniformly
varying sections, stresses in composite bar due to axial force. Strain energy due to axial force- proof resilience, stresses due to
gradual load, sudden load and impact load.
(5+1)
CHANGES IN DIMENSIONS AND VOLUME: Lateral strain - Poisson's ratio, volumetric strain, changes in dimensions and volume,
shear stress, shear strain, relationship between elastic constants. Hoop and longitudinal stresses in thin cylindrical and spherical
shells under internal pressure-changes in dimensions and volume.
(6+2)
BENDING MOMENT AND SHEAR FORCE: Relationship between load, shear force and bending moment - shear force and
bending moment diagrams for cantilever, simply supported and overhanging beams under concentrated loads, uniformly distributed
loads, uniformly varying loads, concentrated moments - maximum bending moment and point of contra flexure.
(7+2)
FLEXURE IN BEAMS: Theory of simple bending and assumptions - flexure equation, section modulus, normal stresses due to
flexure.
(5+2)
TORSION: Theory of torsion and assumptions - torsion equation, polar modulus, stresses in solid and hollow circular shafts, power
transmitted by a shaft - close coiled helical spring with axial load.
(5+2)
PRINCIPAL STRESSES AND PLANES: (Two dimensional only) State of stress at a point - normal and tangential stresses on a
given plane, principal stresses and their planes, plane of maximum shear stress, analytical method - Mohr's circle method,
application to simple problems.
