CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION : Introduction. Engineering and the mechanics of materials, review of statics. Concept of Stress. Normal, shear and bearing stresses. Strain and Material Relations Modulus of elasticity and poisson’s ratio. Generalized Hooke’s law. Elastic Deformation of Axially Loaded Members. Statically determinate and indeterminate problems.
Torsion of Circular Shafts. Internal Forces and Moments in Beams. Axial force, shear force and bending moment. Stresses in Beams. Pure bending and shear stresses in beams, flexure formula, composite beams. Combined stresses. Deflection of Beams. Buckling of Columns.
LEARNING OUTCOMES : By the end of this course students should be able to;
enlarge on the student's knowledge of statics by introducing the mechanics of deformable bodies, so as to lead the student to the methods of structural analysis.
understand the engineering materials behaviour for various loads and environments.
determine mechanical properties of materials by experiments.
understand fundamentals of analysis of mechanical elements and structural members.
build the necessary theoretical background for further structural analysis and design courses.
LEARNING / TEACHING METHOD : Theoretical discussions of each new concept with number of examples are provided. Students will conduct three laboratory experiments to see physical demonstrations of the type of material behaviour. Students will develop their understanding of the course content through reading of the sections of the textbook and practice problem solving through tutorial sessions.
