General concepts of stress-stress tensor-stress analysis of

axially loaded bars-normal stress-shear stress

Stress on inclined planes-design of axially loaded

members Concepts of strain-Mechanical behaviour of
materials-Stress strain profile

Hooke’s Law-Poisson’s ratio-Relationship between elastic

constants-thermal stresses-statically indeterminate
problems

Different types of beams - shear force and bending

moment diagrams for simply supported overhanging and
cantilever beams - Relationship connecting intensity of
loading, shearing force and bending moment

Theory of simple bending - limitations - bending stresses

in beams- Strain energy due to bending

Unsymmetrical bending - Shear stresses in beams - shear

centre - determination of shear centre for simple sections
