Mechanics of Materials Online Course

NPTEL is offering online course for undergraduate students in Mechanics of Materials.

About the course:

• This first course in mechanics of deformable bodies introduces the four concepts - Force, stress, strain, displacement - and the four equations that connect them, namely equilibrium equations, constitutive relation, compatibility condition and strain displacement relation. Systematic procedure to solve problems of engineering interest is outlined.
• In particular, force and displacement relation of structural elements subjected to uniaxial stress, bending, twisting and inflation is studied.
• Estimation of possible modes of failure of these structural elements and the failure load is outlined.
