Course Content
Concept of stress: normal, bearing and shear stresses. Stress and strain in simple loadings: axial loading, pure torsion and bending. Thermal stresses. Deflection of beams: Integration, moment area and superposition methods. Statically indeterminate members. Combined loadings: Combined stresses, Mohris circle. Pressurized thin walled cylinders. Stability of columns.
