Background

Programme is focused on refreshing the basics of strength of materials and mechanics for design engineers to enhance the design efficiency, quality and reliability of the product. All machine structures need to be designed to have enough strength to withstand the applied load and perform the intended function. Hence the design of all structures of machines involve analysis of all loads acting, predicting the modes of failure and adequately strengthen the system to avoid failure during its operating life. The solid bodies when subjected to various types of externally applied forces called loads, the body develops internal resistance in the form of stress and deformation to counter the external loading.
