STRESS, STRAIN DEFORMATION OF SOLIDS
Rigid bodies and deformable solids – Tension, Compression and Shear Stresses – Deformation of simple
and compound bars – Thermal stresses – Elastic constants – Volumetric strains –Stresses on inclined
planes – principal stresses and principal planes – Mohr’s circle of stress
BEAMS -SHEAR FORCE, BENDING MOMENT AND THEORY OF BENDING
Types of beams: Supports and Loads - Shear force and Bending Moment in beams - Cantilever simply
supported and Overhanging beams -Point of contra Flexure - Stresses in beams: Bending and shearstress.
Torsion formulation stresses and deformation in circular and hollows shafts – Stepped shafts– Deflection
in shafts fixed at the both ends – Stresses in helical springs – Deflection of helical springs- Leaf springs.
DEFLECTION OF BEAMS AND BUCKLING OF COLUMNS
Elastic curve of Neutral axis of the beam under normal loads - Evaluation of beam deflection and
slope:Macaulay Method - Columns- Strength of column- End conditions -equivalent length of a column
-Euler equation -Slenderness ratio -Rankine formula for columns.
THIN CYLINDERS, SPHERES AND THICK CYLINDERS
Stresses in thin cylindrical shell due to internal pressure circumferential and longitudinal stresses and
deformation in thin and thick cylinders – spherical shells subjected to internal pressure – Deformation
in spherical shells.
