CE3402 STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
L T P C: 3 0 0 3 | Total Hours: 45 Periods
COURSE OBJECTIVES
- To learn the fundamental concepts of Stress in simple and complex states and to know the mechanism of load transfer in beams and the induced stresses due to simple bending and unsymmetrical bending and to determine the deformation in determinate beams and to know the basic concepts of analysis of indeterminate beams.
UNIT I: SIMPLE AND COMPOUND STRESSES
Stresses in simple and compound bars - Thermal stresses - Elastic constants - Thin cylindrical and spherical shells - Biaxial state of stress - Principal stresses and principal planes - Mohr's circle of stresses - Torsion on circular shafts.
UNIT II: BENDING OF BEAMS
Types of beams and transverse loadings- Shear force and bending moment for simply supported, cantilever and over-hanging beams - Theory of simple bending - Bending stress distribution - Shear stress distribution.
UNIT III: DEFLECTION OF BEAMS
Double Integration method - Macaulay's method - Area moment method - Conjugate beam method - Strain energy method for determinate beams.
UNIT IV: INDETERMINATE BEAMS
Propped Cantilever and Fixed Beams - Fixed end moments reactions, slope and deflection for standard cases of loading - Continuous beams - support reactions and moments - Theorem of three moments - Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams.
UNIT V: ADVANCED TOPICS
Unsymmetrical bending of beams - shear center applied - Thick cylinders - Theories of failure - Principal stress, principal strain, shear stress, strain energy and distortion energy theories - application problems.
COURSE OUTCOMES
Students will be able to:
- CO1: Understand the concepts of stress and strain, principal stresses and principal planes.
- CO2: Determine Shear force and bending moment in beams and understand concept of theory of simple bending.
