BRIEF COURSE OUTLINE
Free body diagram with examples on modelling of typical supports and joints, Conditions for equilibrium in 3-D and 2-D, Friction: limiting and non-limiting cases; Force-displacement relationship and geometric compatibility (for small deformations) with illustrations through simple problems on axially loaded members and thin-walled pressure vessels; Concept of stress at a point, Plane stress case: transformation of stresses at a point, principal stresses and Mohr’s circle, Displacement field, Concept of strain at a point, Plane strain case: transformation of strain at a point, principal strains and Mohr’s circle, Strain Rosette; Discussion of experimental results on 1-D material behaviour, Concepts of elasticity, plasticity, strain-hardening, failure (fracture/yielding), Idealization of 1-D stress-strain curve, Generalized Hooke’s law (without and with thermal strains) for isotropic materials, Complete equations of elasticity; Force analysis (axial force, shear force, bending moment, and twisting moment diagrams) of slender members (singularity functions not to be used); Torsion of circular shafts and thin-walled tubes (plastic analysis and rectangular shafts not to be discussed); Moment curvature relationship for pure bending of beams with symmetric cross-section, bending stress, shear stress (Shear centre and plastic analysis not to be discussed); Cases of combined loads, Concept of strain energy, Yield criteria; Deflection due to bending, Integration of the moment-curvature relationship for simple boundary conditions, Method of superposition (singularity functions not to be used); Strain energy and complementary strain energy for simple structural elements (those under axial load, shear force, bending moment, and torsion), Castigliano’s theorems for deflection analysis and indeterminate problems; Concept of elastic instability, Introduction to column buckling, Euler’s formula (post-buckling behaviour not to be covered)
The conceptual heirarchy is
→ free body diagram & symbols for pertinent physical quantities → assumptions & statement of negligible effects
→ known vs unknowns
→ equilibrium & geometry & constitutive relations
→ solving for the pertinent unknowns.
