RATIONALE.:

Mechanics of Materials deals with the internal behaviour of variously loaded solid bodies, such as ;
Shafts, bars, beams, plates and columns, as well as structures and machines that are assemblies of
these Components. Mechanics of materials focuses primarily on mechanical properties of materials,
analysis of stress, strain and evaluation of deformations. The subjects like structural analysis, design
of structures as well as machines are based on adequate knowledge and understanding of Mechanics
of Materials. Therefore, it is an important basic subject for Diploma students in Civil and Mechanical
Engineering.

AIM :
The aim of the subject Mechanics of Materials is to develop background preparation of students for
taking up Engineering subjects like Theory and Design of Structures, Design of Machines mostly
through the followings:
► Describe the Mechanical properties of important Engineering materials.
► Determination stresses strains and deformations in elastic bodies of different shapes under
different loading conditions for engineering applications.
► Determination load carrying capacity of different types of members.
