Stress at a point – stress on an arbitrarily oriented plane – stress transformations – strain theory – principal stresses & strains (2D& 3D) – Generalized Hooke’s law – Equations of thermo-elasticity for isotropic materials – strain energy density – stress concentration.
Failure & Failure criteria: Modes of failure – yield failure criteria – introduction to fracture mechanics – cracks & brittle fracture – fatigue – elastic and inelastic buckling.
Beams on elastic foundation: Basic equations – Winkler foundations – semi-infinite beams with concentrated loads – infinite beams with concentrated loads – uniformly distributed load – beams of finite length.
Curved Beams: Circumferential stresses – radial stress and shear stress in curved beams – sections having thinflanges – closed sections with thin walls – deflections of sharply curved beams.
Displacements – strains and compatibility – equilibrium equations and boundary conditions – stressfield solutions for plane stress problems – polynomial solutions in Cartesian coordinates – displacements calculated from stresses – plane stress problems in polar coordinates.
