What is combined loading?

Determine stresses developed in thinwalled pressure vessels

Determine stresses developed in a
members cross section when axial load,
torsion, bending and shear occur
simultaneously.

Chapter 14: Energy Methods

Formulate the strain energy stored in a

member, when it is subjected to an axial
load, bending moment, transverse shear
or torsional moment.
Apply the principle of conservation of
energy to determine the stress and
deflection of a member when it is
subjected to impact.

Chapter 12: Deflections of Beams

and Shafts

Determine the deflection and slope at specific points

on beams and shafts, using various analytical
methods including:

The integration method

The use of discontinuity functions

The method of superposition

Determine the same, using a semi-graphical
technique, called the moment-area method

Chapter 13: Buckling of

Columns

Understand the behavior of columns and

concept of critical load and buckling
Determine the axial load needed to
buckle a so-called ideal column
Determine the effective length of a
column with various end-conditions
Design a realistic column against
buckling

Bending of thin plates

Determine the internal moment at a

section of a beam
Determine the stress in a beam member
caused by bending

Fracture Mechanics, Fatigue and

Creep Problems
Investigation of linear elastic and elastic-plastic
fracture mechanics. Topics include microstructural
effects on fracture in metals, ceramics, polymers,
thin films, biological materials and composites,
toughening mechanisms, crack growth resistance
and creep fracture. Also covered: interface fracture
mechanics, fatigue damage and dislocation
substructures in single crystals, stress- and strainlife approach to fatigue, fatigue crack growth
models and mechanisms, variable amplitude
fatigue, corrosion fatigue and case studies of
fracture and fatigue in structural, bioimplant, and
microelectronic components.
