Department of Civil Engineering B22 Strength of Materials 1 4:0

Preamble: A structure is made up of constituent elements like beam, column and membrane. The constituent elements should have adequate size to resist applied loads to build a safe structure. Their size is decided by material properties of the elements, particularly their strength. Man seems to have had information regarding the strength of structural material even in ancient times. They had worked out empirical rules which they used to dimension elements of structures like the pyramid, coliseum, harbors, bridges and aqua ducts that bring awe to the beholder even today. The Greek had even developed statics, the foundation of mechanics of materials, and people like Archimedes put this into practice by hoisting huge structural elements and putting them in place. But this ancient knowledge was lost during the middle ages and only during the renaissance the science of material strength was recovered. At that time people like Leonardo da Vinci took mechanics of structures to great heights. He investigated the strength of materials experimentally, the bending of beam and its variation with different lengths and loads. He even investigated the strength of columns. But the first attempt to find safe dimension for a structural element, analytically, was attempted only in the 17th century. It started with Galileos famous book on strength and mechanics of materials, called, Two New Sciences. That was the start of Strength of Materials. There was rapid development in the field of mechanics of materials at the end of the 19th century. Testing of materials attracted attention and soon the National Bureau of Standards was born in USA. Research took on a new turn facilitating closer contact between engineers and physicists. Meanwhile in the field of Strength of Materials, refinements in stress analysis, both analytical and experimental took place. Fields like fracture mechanics, stress concentration, ductility, strength theories, fatigue, experimental stress analysis are few among a vast horde of new fields of study that have emerged from a renewed interest in Strength of Materials in twentieth century. Outcomes addressed a. An ability to apply knowledge of engineering, information technology, mathematics, and science d. An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems
