NO. TOPICS
1. One-dimensional and Two-dimensional Linear Stress and Strain
Systems
 Definition of stress and strain – normal and shear, symbols, units, notation and sign convention.
 Uniaxial tensile stress- strain diagram for metals-salient points/features and mechanics properties including young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, relationship between E, G, K and ν.
Hook’s law in one and two dimensions.
 Axially loaded system - determinate and indeterminate solid and hollow uniform rods - equilibrium and compatibility condition, free-body diagrams, internal forces and internal forces diagram, axial stresses and strain, elongation/shortening. Allowable stresses and loads. Factor of safety. Stresses and strain transformation in twodimension graphical and analytical approaches.

2. The Structural Properties of a Cross Section
 Center of gravity (centroid) and moment of inertia
3. Symmetrical Bending of beams
 Moment of forces equilibrium and compatibility condition, types of supports, types of statically determinate beams, plane of bending and plane of symmetry.
 Internal forces – overall and part free body diagram, shear force, axial force and bending moment diagram. Relationship between load, shear and bending moment.
 Stresses – theory of pure bending, flexural and shear stresses.
 Deflection and relations – double integration and Macaulay’s methods.
 Bending of composite beams – introduction, transformed sections and flexural strain and stress distributions.
4. Torsion of Circular Shafts
