Course Objectives To introduce students with the different types of loads, stresses and structural members Course Outcomes Students are expected to have a good concept of various types of loads, stresses and structural members TOPICS COVERED: 1. Simple Stress and Strain Kinds of stresses and strains, Load extension diagrams for different materials, Hooks law, Modulus of elasticity, Lateral strain, Volumetric strain, Poissons ratio, Temperature stresses and compound bars. 2. Stresses in beams Theory of simple bending, Moment of resistance and section modulus, Application of flexure formula, Shear stresses in beams, Shear center, Shear flow. 3. Columns and Struts Axially loaded columns, Eulers treatment, Rankine Gordon formula for short and intermediate columns. Slenderness ratio 4. Circular shafts Theory of torsion for solid and hollow circular shafts 5. Springs Open coil springs, closed coil springs, leaf springs. 6. Strain Energy Strain energy due to direct loads, forc, bending moment and torque. Stresses due to impact loads 7. Practicals a. To perform tensile test on steel

b. c. d. e.

To perform compression test on wood sample with load parallel and perpendicular to grains. To perform impact test on metals. To determine the crippling load for struts of varying slenderness ratios and end fixing conditions. To perform bending test on wooden beam.

CLASS NOTES AND HANDOUTS Additional class notes, study material, research papers, homework assignments, and general course information will be distributed or presented at the start of each class period. It is the students' responsibility to obtain a copy of these materials or information, from either a fellow student or directly from the instructor, if for some reason they are absent from class. POLICIES COLLABORATION, PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING Collaboration is encouraged, but duplication of work and group solutions for individual homework, quizzes, mid-term exam, and final exam is considered plagiarism and cheating and disciplinary action will exercised according to the School Policies. Zero credit will be given for work that is identified as being copied or plagiarized with no reference made to the original source. Copying of homeworks from one student to another is strictly prohibited. The line between collaboration and plagiarism and cheating is not clear. A simple guideline to use is when you discuss your work with other students, be sure to record your answer without any collaboration. Plagiarism and cheating is most obvious when a student is asked to explain their answer and two students turn in responses with the same awkward sentence structure or the same grammatical errors. Similarly, identical diagrams and identical layouts of solution procedures, solutions with missing steps or poorly arranged work also point to cheating. DISCLAIMER The instructor reserves the right to change and adjust the policies at any time before or during the Academic term.
