ME2254 STRENGTH OF MATERIALS L T P C

(Common to Mechanical, Automobile & Production) 3 1 0 4

OBJECTIVES
To gain knowledge of simple stresses, strains and deformation in components due to external
loads
To assess stresses and deformations through mathematical models of beams, twisting bars or
combinations of both
!ffect of component dimensions and shape on stresses and deformations are to be understood
The stud" would pro#ide knowledge for use in the design courses
UNIT I STRESS STRAIN DEFORMATION OF SOLIDS 12
$igid and %eformable bodies & 'trength, 'tiffness and 'tabilit" & 'tresses( Tensile, Compressi#e and
'hear & %eformation of simple and compound bars under axial load &Thermal stress & !lastic constants
& 'train energ" and unit strain energ" & 'train energ" in uniaxial loads
UNIT II BEAMS - LOADS AND STRESSES 12
T"pes of beams) 'upports and *oads & 'hear force and +ending Moment in beams & Cantile#er, 'impl"
supported and ,#erhanging beams & 'tresses in beams & Theor" of simple bending & 'tress #ariation
along the length and in the beam section & !ffect of shape of beam section on stress induced & 'hear
stresses in beams & 'hear flow
UNIT III TORSION 12
Anal"sis of torsion of circular bars & 'hear stress distribution & +ars of 'olid and hollow circular section
& 'tepped shaft & Twist and torsion stiffness & Compound shafts & -ixed and simpl" supported shafts &
Application to close.coiled helical springs & Maximum shear stress in spring section including /ahl
-actor & %eflection of helical coil springs under axial loads & %esign of helical coil springs & stresses in
helical coil springs under torsion loads
UNIT IV BEAM DEFLECTION 12
!lastic cur#e of 0eutral axis of the beam under normal loads & !#aluation of beam deflection and slope)
