AE3352 Solid Mechanics Syllabus:
AE3352 Solid Mechanics Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. Ability to think, Analyse and solve Engineering Problems expected from the course.
2. Ability to understand stress and strain concepts related to deformable bodies.
3. To enable understanding of the behaviour and response of materials and to allow the student to carry out easy and moderate level structural analysis of basic structural members.
4. To familiarize with the different methods used for beam deflection analysis.
5. To impart knowledge to the students on how structural elements are sized and to enable the student to gain knowledge in how stresses are developed and distributed internally.
