This course introduces Introduction to Study of the mechanical behavior of solid bodies (Rods, Shafts, Beams, etc.) under various types of loading, Mechanical and thermal stress and strain. Stress- strain relations: Axial deformation. Shear and bending moment in beams. Torsion of the shafts and thin walled tubes. Combined loading: Theories of failure. Strain gauge measurements thick and thin walled cylinders. Deflection of beams. Statically indeterminate problems. Columns.
