JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

The objective is to learn the fundamental concepts of stress, strain, and

deformation of solids with applications to bars, beams, and columns. Detailed study of engineering properties of materials is also of interest. Fundamentals of applying equilibrium, compatibility, and force- deformation relationships to structural elements are emphasized. The students are introduced to advanced concepts of flexibility and stiffness method of structural analysis. The course builds on the fundamental concepts of engineering mechanics course.

Course Outcomes

At the end of the lab, the student will be able to:

• Analyze the behavior of the solid bodies subjected to various types of loading.
• Apply knowledge of materials and structural elements to the analysis of simple structures.
• Undertake problem identification, formulation and solution using a range of analytical methods
• Analyze and interpret laboratory data relating to behavior of structures and the materials they are made of, and undertake associated laboratory work individually and in teams.
• Expectation and capacity to undertake lifelong learning.
