Home made notes of solid mechanics for gate exam.
(A) Subcontents/topics of solid mechanics
(1)Simple stress and strains
(2) Principle stresses and strains
(3)Shear force and bending moment diagram
(4) Shear stress
(5)Strain energy,Thin cylinder and column.
In last post I have posted notes on simple stress and strains .Today I will be uploading notes on Principle stresses and strains.
This topics covers about the stresses which are acting inclined at an angle Theta on a plane. This topic is important and many questions are asked on this topic.The weightage of solid mechanics is about 5-9 marks in the gate entrance exam.
