Course Description
The course deals with the study of stresses and strains in deformable bodies under axial loading, torsion,
bending, and combined loadings. The study is restricted to the linear-elastic response of the bodies. It covers
the transformations of plane stress and strain including the method of Mohr’s circle, deflections of beams,
buckling of columns, and strain energy.
