Mechanics of Solids I CEN 211


Syllabus

Concepts of stress and strain, constitutive relationships; deformations due to tension, compression and temperature change; beam statics: reactions, axial force, shear force and bending moments; axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams using method of section and summation approach; elastic analysis of circular shafts, solid noncircularand thin walled tubular members subjected to torsion; flexuraland shear stresses in beams; shear centre; thin walled pressure vessels.
