Pre Requisites: Engineering Mechanics

Course Objectives: The subject provide the knowledge of simple stress strains flexural
stresses in members, shear stresses and deflection in beams so that the concepts can be
applied to the Engineering problems.

Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

• Analyze the statically determinate and indeterminate problems.
• Determine the stresses and strains in the members subjected to axial, bending.
• Evaluate the slope and deflection of beams subjected to loads.
• Determine the principal stresses and strains in structural members.

Elastic constants.

Strain Energy – Resilience – Gradual, sudden, impact and shock loadings – simple applications.

UNIT – II

Shear Force and Bending Moment: Definition of beam – Types of beams – Concept of shear force and bending moment – S.F and B.M diagrams for cantilever, simply supported and overhanging beams subjected to point loads, uniformly distributed load, uniformly varying loads and combination of these loads – Point of contra flexure – Relation between S.F., B.M and rate of loading at a section of a beam.

UNIT – III

Flexural Stresses: Theory of simple bending – Assumptions – Derivation of bending equation: M/I = f/y = E/R - Neutral axis – Determination of bending stresses – Section modulus of rectangular and circular sections (Solid and Hollow), I,T, Angle and Channel sections – Design of simple beam sections.
