Welcome...

Hi, I'm Arun Shal, nice to meet you!

ME202-Advanced Mechanics of Solids

Course Objectives:
  1. To impart concepts of stress and strain analyses in a solid.
  2. To study the methodologies in theory of elasticity at a basic level.
  3. To acquaint with the solution of advanced bending problems.
  4. To get familiar with energy methods for solving structural mechanics problems.
Syllabus:

Introduction, concepts of stress, equations of equilibrium, strain components, strain-displacement relations,compatibility conditions, constitutive relations, boundary conditions, 2D problems in elasticity, Airy’s stress function method, unsymmetrical bending of straight beams, bending of curved beams, shear center, energy methods in elasticity, torsion of non-circular solid shafts, torsion of thin walled tubes.

Expected outcome:

At the end of the course students will be able to

  1. Apply concepts of stress and strain analyses in solids.
  2. Use the procedures in theory of elasticity at a basic level.
  3. Solve general bending problems.
  4. Apply energy methods in structural mechanics problems.
