and strain diagram for brittle & ductile material, elastic limit, Hooks law, modulus of
elasticity, modulus of rigidity, factor of safety, analysis of tapered rod, analysis of composite
section, thermal stress and strain.
Longitudinal stra
and strain with uni-axial, bi-axial & tri-axial loading, bulk modulus, relation between
Principal stresses and strains:- Definition of principal planes & principal stresses, analytical
method of determining stresses on oblique section when member is subjected to direct
stresses in one plane in mutually perpendicular two planes, when member is subjected to
Strain energy & impact loading: - Definition of strain energy stored in a body when it is
subjected to gradually applied load, suddenly applied loads & impact loads. Strain energy
stored in bending & torsion

Assignments (Guidelines)
At least one problem on the following topic
1. Stresses in Beams ( A two wheeler chassis design concept)
2. Strain energy and deflection ( Determination of equivalent load due to impact on the component
and its design)
