SOM Syllabus (Strength of Materials) VTU BE/B.Tech 2015-16
Course Objectives: This course aims at updating the knowledge of students in the following fields of chemical processing of textiles
- To understand the basic concepts of the stresses and strains for different materials and strength of structural elements.
- To know the development of internal forces and resistance mechanism for one dimensional and two dimensional structural elements.
- To analyse and understand different internal forces and stresses induced due to representative loads on structural elements.
- To analyse and understand principal stresses due to the combination of two dimensional stresses on an element and failure mechanisms in materials.
- To evaluate the behavior of torsional members, columns and struts.
