COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is setup to introduce students with following:
 Different types of stresses and strains.
 To calculate shear force and bending moment diagrams of various types of beams with
different support conditions.
 Bending stresses and torsion for uniaxial bending in beams
 Some initial techniques for analysis of structural elements to be demonstrated with
theoretical background.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
 To enable students understand different types of stresses and strains for calculating the
material properties for analysis and design of structural elements.
 To enable students understand and apply basic Engineering techniques to calculate shear
force, bending moment and bending stresses in beams and identify critical sections.
 To enable students differentiate various types of columns and determine their critical
loads.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS):



Mechanics of Solids consists of first hand interaction of students with basic structural
elements like beams, columns and shafts.
In any building design or analysis, determining the stresses, strains and drawing their
profile and identify critical locations/ loads has got the utmost importance.
On successful completion of this course the students can easily predict the behavior of
structural elements and can contribute efficiently in structural design by using this
knowledge.
