Methods
Course outcomes By studying this course, students will be
 Students will have through knowledge in analysis of
indeterminate beams and use of energy method for estimating
the slope and deflections of beams and trusses
 They will be in a position to assess the behavior of columns,
beams and failure of materials.
 Determine the stresses and strains in members subjected to
combined loading and apply the theories of failure for static
loading.
 Determine and illustrate principal stresses, maximum shearing
stress, and the stresses acting on a structural member.
 Determine the deflections and rotations produced by the three
fundamental types of loads: axial, torsional, and flexural.
 Design simple bars, beams, and circular shafts for allowable
stresses and loads.
 Understand the concepts of stress and strain at a point as well as
the stress-strain relationships for homogenous, isotropic
materials.

 Calculate the stresses and strains in axially-loaded members,

circular torsion members, and members subject to flexural
loadings, thin-wall spherical and cylindrical pressure vessels.
OBJECTIVES:
To understand the stresses developed in bars, compounds bars, beams, shafts, cylinders and
spheres.

UNIT – I - STRESS, STRAIN AND DEFORMATION OF SOLIDS 9

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.

UNIT – II - TRANSVERSE LOADING ON BEAMS AND STRESSES IN BEAM 9

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.

UNIT – III - TORSION 9

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.
UNIT – IV - DEFLECTION OF BEAMS 9
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.
UNIT - V – THIN CYLINDERS, SPHERES AND THICK CYLINDERS 9
 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.
TOTAL (L: 45+T: 15): 60 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
 Upon completion of this course, the students can able to apply mathematical knowledge to
calculate the deformation behavior of simple structures.
 Critically analyse problem and solve the problems related to mechanical elements and analyse the
deformation behavior for different types of loads.

CONTENT BEYOND THE SYLLABUS

 Teaching materials of subjects are kept in the library for benefiting students for studying beyond
college hours
 Guest lectures on recent developments in the field of strength of materials
 Seminars, which involve learning groups, provide an opportunity for active discussions on recent
topics in strength of materials
 Regular industrial visits are organized for the students to get acquainted with the work place
environment.
