Course Spotlight: Strength of Materials

🔍 Unit I: Unraveling Stresses and Strains (06 Hours) Discover the fascinating world of construction materials! From Hook's Law to stress-strain diagrams for elastic, plastic, and brittle materials — get a grip on how materials behave under pressure. Explore axial stresses, strains of all kinds (linear, lateral, shear, and volumetric), elastic constants, and how temperature changes can shake things up.

📊 Unit II: Shear Force & Bending Moment — Crack the Code! (06 Hours) Ever wonder how beams hold up under pressure? Master the art of drawing shear force and bending moment diagrams for determinate beams with different loads — from concentrated to uniformly varying. Learn how to read between the lines of bending moment and loading diagrams.

💥 Unit III: Bending It Right — Shear & Bending Stresses (06 Hours) Dive deep into the mechanics of beams! Understand shear stress and how it distributes across various cross-sections. Grasp the flexure formula and bend your mind around bending stress distribution diagrams. Discover how circular and rectangular sections resist bending forces.

⚙️ Unit IV: Twist It Till You Make It — Torsion & Principal Stresses (06 Hours) Twist and shout! Explore how circular shafts handle torsion — from solid to hollow cross-sections. Learn how power is transmitted and how principal stresses work. Get insights on how stresses behave on oblique planes and where maximum shear stress kicks in.

🏗️ Unit V: Columns Under Pressure — Axial & Eccentric Loads (06 Hours) What makes a column stand tall? Find out how critical loads cause buckling. Master Euler's and Rankine's formulas to calculate safe loads. Explore real-world structures like retaining walls and chimneys. Visualize resultant stress diagrams and the intriguing concept of the core of the section.

🛠️ Unit VI: Bending Without Breaking — Slope & Deflection (06 Hours) Uncover how beams and trusses bend without breaking! Learn Macaulay's method, the strain energy method, and Castigliano's first theorem to calculate slope and deflection. Discover how truss joints move with the unit load method.
