CLO-1: Demonstrate the fundamental concepts of stress and strain
and strain-stress equations in order to solve problems for simple
three-dimensional elastic solids. [PLO1]
CLO-2: Analyze the problems relating to torsional deformation of
bars and other simple tri-dimensional structures.[PLO2]
CLO-3: Solve problems relating to pure and non-uniform bending of
beams, columns and other simple structures.[PLO2]
CLO-4: Evaluate the stresses from the strain energies data in elastic
solids.[PLO2]
