Course Overview
The course is a foundation course of the intermediate level for engineering students who want to build a stronghold on the basics of Mechanical engineering, including concepts of the strength of materials and the deformability of various structures and the constituent materials. The candidates will learn to predict the failure and the deformation in structures used to build mechanical structures, like elastic, viscoelastic and plastic elements.
The candidates will be taught the ways of analyzing structural assemblages of various types, using the equations of geometric compatibility, static equilibrium, and constitutive material response. The Mechanics of Deformable Structures: Part 1 programme is the second course of a series having three parts, and this part is specially designed to give an introduction to the behaviour of viscoelasticity of a deformable structure, i.e. over the course of time.
The objective of the programme also covers the pattern in which a structure changes if the load applied exceeds the permissible ability of the elastic limit, known as the plasticity of the material. In the end, a candidate will be able to apply analytical methods and perform calculations related to the subject.
