Course Objectives
1. To study the stress, strain behaviour of the deformable bodies under various loading
condition.
2. To understand the state of stress at a point.
3. To provide fundamental knowledge of fluids, its properties.
4. To apply the basic knowledge of fluid mechanics to real world problems.
Course Outcome
At the end of the course the student will be able to
1. Evaluate the stress and strain in axially loaded machine elements.
2. Compute the state of stress at a point.
3. Evaluate the stress distribution in the beams.
4. Prediction of stresses and deformation induced in circular shafts due to torsion.
5. Scrutinize various hydraulic systems by applying the fundamental laws of fluid
statics.
6. Elucidate the real world boundary value problems with suitable assumptions.
