Aim(s)
To introduce the concepts of mechanics of materials for analysis of three dimensional (3D) deformable solids subjected to external static loadings.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to; Explain the concepts of mechanics of materials of 3D deformable solids. Apply the fundamental of equilibrium, compatibility and constitutive laws to analyse solid bodies subjected to external static loadings for internal stresses and strains. Determine the state of stress at a point in any given coordinate system and hence evaluate the principal stresses and their directions.
Course content/Course description
Basics of general 3D elastostatic problem, governing equations and general principles Analysis of stress and strain in 3D, constitutive relations, introduction to 2D approximations of 3D problem Theory of plates and shells
