Rationale: Strength of Materials focuses on the strength of materials and structural components
subjected to different types of force and thermal loadings, the limiting strength criteria of
structures, and the theory of strength of structures. It deals with the behaviour of objects
withstanding stresses and strains and also emphasizes actual operating conditions.
Catalog Description: This subject covers the introductory concept of stresses and strains, and the
strength of structures such as beams, columns and struts.
Course Outline:
1. Stresses and strains on oblique planes under uniaxial and biaxial loading.
2. Analysis of plane stress and plane strain
3. Mohr's circle of stress and strain.
III. BEAMS:
V. TORSION:
1. Torsional rigidity.
2. Torsion of circular bars.
3. Torsion in thin tubular section.
4. Strain energy due to Torsion.
VI. COLUMN AND STRUTS:
