COURSE OBJECTIVE
This course is to serve as an introduction to mechanics of deformable solid bodies. The primary course objective is to equip the students with the tools necessary to solve mechanics problems, which involves (a) static analysis of a component to find the internal actions (forces and moments), (b) determine stresses, strains and deformation due to internal actions, and (c) compare them with known acceptable values. This requires the familiarity with the vocabulary of the subject, skill of drawing free body diagrams and the understanding of the material behaviour under loads. It is expected to improve your engineering design skills.

COURSE OUTLINE
1. Equilibrium of Forces: Force vectors, moment of force, resultants of coplanar force system, Free body diagrams, Equations of equilibrium, Friction and frictional force on flat belts, Method of joints and sections for pin-jointed trusses, Frames and machines. 2. Deformable Bodies under Axial Load: Uniaxial loading and elastic deformation, Statically determinate and indeterminate problems, Force method of analysis 3. State of Stress : Concept of stress, normal and shear stress, Equilibrium of differential element, Plane stress, Stress on any arbitrary plane (stress transformation), Mohr's Circle, Principal stresses and maximum in-plane shear stresses, Absolute maximum shear stress 4. State of Strain: Analysis of deformation and strain components, Plane strain and its transformation, Mohr's Circle, Strain rosettes. 5. Stress-Strain relationship & Failure theories: Tensile test and stress-strain curve, Elastic stress-strain relationships, Thermal strains, Generalized Hooke's law for plane stress problems, Relation between elastic modulii, Criteria of initial yielding, Distortional strain energy, von-Mises and Tresca yield theories. 6. Bending: Bending moments and shear force, Bending deformations, Bending stresses (normal and transverse), Built-up (composite) members, Deflection due to bending by double integrations and method of superposition, Statically indeterminate beams. 7. Torsion: Torsional deformation of circular shafts, Torsional stress and angle of twist, Statically indeterminate torque-loaded members. 8. Combined Stresses: Thin walled pressure vessels, Stress caused by combined axial, flexural, and torsional loadings. 9. Energy Methods: Elastic strain energy-axial, flexure and torsional, Complementary energy, Castigliano's theorem 10. Stability: Stability of Equilibrium, Elastic instability and buckling, Column buckling, Euler load.

HOMEWORK
Homework problems will be assigned regularly to help you deepen the understanding of the course material covered. You are strongly advised to attempt them. They will be graded and solution will be posted on LHC notice boards. Please remember the reason you are asked to do homework, which is so that you can learn to reason and solve these types of problems yourself! You can work in groups; however, you have to submit the solution in your own handwriting. They are due in the tutorial session on the assigned day. Late submissions will not be graded.

HOMEWORK GRADING POLICY

Motivation Emphasis of homework assignment is on developing your skills to solve problems completely and correctly and to present it in a neat and legible manner so that it can be understood easily by others verifying it. Remember that engineering calculations are not for you; they are for someone else to read and decipher, so an organized, neatly done presentation is essential. Homework submissions, therefore, will be graded for the accuracy of solution as well as its presentation separately and overall grade will be based on the composite score as per the following description: Grades for the accuracy of results A: All answers are correct, B: A few mathematical errors, C: More than a few mathematical errors, and D: Conceptual or serious mathematical errors. Grades for the presentation N: Neat (All calculations shown, free body diagrams drawn and labeled, units mentioned, etc.), F: Fair, P: Poor (Hastily done, looks copied, missing details or problems) Overall grade 100% : A+N, 90%: A+F, B+N, 80%: A+P, B+F; 70%: C+N/F, B+P; 60%: D+N/F/P, C+P

TUTORIAL SESSIONS
Tutorials sessions will be used to illustrate lecture materials through examples and discuss underlying basic concepts. Attending tutorial sessions is extremely important and a record of your attendance will be kept.

SUBMISSION RULES
All homework solutions, quizzes and exams, must be presented in a manner which shows a clear and logical approach to your solution. Make sure that you mark and delineate each step along the way and explain your work. Free body diagrams need to be drawn wherever necessary, which should be properly labeled and force vectors properly indicated. All formulas should be written in symbolic form before any numerical computations performed. The final solution must be clearly labeled with appropriate units or designation and underlined or boxed. When necessary, provide sketches which must be clearly lettered. Your penmanship must be neat. All work should be self explanatory as if it were a final copy of calculations for archival. These will not only make your submissions a better reference for the future for you but will also help me to give partial credits for incorrect answers.

ATTENDANCE
You are expected to attend every class - both lecture and tutorial sessions. Please take note of the fact that excessive absenteeism will surely reflect on your performance and affect your course grade negatively. Attendance record of tutorial sessions will be kept which may help favourably in deciding borderline cases while assigning final course grade!

GRADING
The course grade will be based on: Homework 10%, Quizzes (4) 20%, Mid-sem exam 25%, Final exam 40%, and Attendance 5%. Passing grades (D or better) will be given only to those students whose overall score exceeds 55%. A grade of A is guaranteed for overall score of 90% or higher. Corresponding guarantees for B and C grades are 80% and 70%, respectively. Actual cutoffs may be different, but those are not guaranteed.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY

Students who violate Institute rules on academic dishonesty (by violating the Honor Code in exams and quizzes, indulging in proxy attendances, etc), will subject to disciplinary action as described in the Section 12 of the UG Manual ([Link] Penalties include the possibility of failure in the course and/or dismissal from the Institute. Since such dishonesty harms the individual, all students, and the integrity of the Institute, policies on academic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. Honor code policy has not been perfect for IIT Kanpur too! Experience tells us that resolving cheating situations can be very painful and time consuming. Prevention appears to be the next best solution; however, it assumes that cheating is inevitable, if not stopped. Despite ensuing displeasure and agony, please be ready for randomized seating plan just before exam, checking of ICards for the identification, multiple variations of question papers and intrusive proctoring!
