Fundamental concepts of mechanics of deformable solids (static equilibrium, compatibility of deformation, and material constitutive behavior etc.) Stress and strain, uniaxial tension test, statically indeterminate structures, temperature effects and thermal stress, torsion of circular shafts, simple bending of beams, shear stresses in beams of different cross-sectional shapes, shear centre, combined stresses due to bending, torsion, shear and axial loads, transformation of stresses, failure criteria and stability and buckling.

CILO-1: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering appropriate to the degree discipline. CILO-2: An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. CILO-3: An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability. CILO-4: An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. CILO-5: An ability to recognize the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, especially the importance of health, safety and environmental considerations to both workers and the general public. CILO-6: An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice appropriate to the degree discipline.
