Course description and aims

The topics taught in this course are sterss / strain (the basic concept related to the strength and deformation of machines and structures), the basic theory of linear elasticity for isotropic and anisotropic bodies, and basic theory of elasto-plasticity. More specific topics are as follows.
1. Stress and strain
2. Two dimensional elasticity (Stress function)
3. Torsion of shafts and bending of plates
4. Theory of elasticity for anisotropic bodies
5. Basic theory of elasto-plasticity (Yielding criteria)
6. Elasto-plastic bending of beams and elasto-plastic torsion of shafts
7. Elasto-plastic deformation of thick-walled cylinder
