STRESS, STRAIN AND DEFORMATION OF SOLIDS
Rigid bodies and deformable solids – Tension, Compression and Shear Stresses – Deformation of
simple and compound bars – Thermal stresses – Elastic constants – Volumetric strains –Stresses
on inclined planes – principal stresses and principal planes – Mohr’s circle of stress.
TRANSVERSE LOADING ON BEAMS AND STRESSES IN BEAM
Beams – types transverse loading on beams – Shear force and bending moment in beams
– Cantilevers – Simply supported beams and over – hanging beams. Theory of simple
bending– bending stress distribution – Load carrying capacity – Proportioning of sections – Flitched
beams – Shear stress distribution.
Torsion formulation stresses and deformation in circular and hollows shafts – Stepped shafts–
Deflection in shafts fixed at the both ends – Stresses in helical springs – Deflection of helical
springs, carriage springs.
Double Integration method – Macaulay’s method – Area moment method for computation of
slopes and deflections in beams - Conjugate beam and strain energy – Maxwell’s reciprocal
theorems
THIN CYLINDERS, SPHERES AND THICK CYLINDERS
Stresses in thin cylindrical shell due to internal pressure circumferential and longitudinal stresses
and deformation in thin and thick cylinders – spherical shells subjected to internal pressure –
Deformation in spherical shells – Lame’s theorem.
