Strength of Materials Prof. Sriman Kumar Bhatta…

ABOUT THE COURSE

Strength of Materials is a fundamental

subject needed primarily for the students of
Mechanical sciences. As the engineering
design of different components, structures
etc. used in practice are done using different
kinds of materials, it is essential to
understand the basic behavior of such
materials. The objective of the present
course is to make the students acquainted
with the concept of load resultant,
consequences and how different kinds of
loadings can be withstood by different kinds
of members with some specific materials.
NPTEL lecture series on Strength of
Materials are prepared, explaining the
fundamentals in a simple and lucid manner
so that the students can grasp the basics of
the application of loading system and its
consequence in a deformable body.
