1. Course Description: The course starts with generalized Hookes low and three dimensional
stress strain relations. It includes detailed discussion of energy methods for solving indeterminate
problems. Mechanics of asymmetrical bending, curved beams and thick cylinders are also
discussed. A chapter on contact stress is also included. Under kinematics, velocity and acceleration
diagrams, graphical and analytical methods of analysis, kinematics of cam & synthesis of cam
profile and gear trains are included.
2. Scope and Objective of the Course: The first part deal with in-depth analysis of some
advanced topics in Mechanics of Solids, beyond what is covered in the common course
Mechanics of Solids ES C221. The second part deals with kinematics of simple mechanisms and
motion generation, which lays foundation for further study in Dynamics and Vibration ME
C442.
