Strength of Materials (SOM) : at Internal Assessment

This document outlines the evaluation system and syllabus for the Strength of Materials course. [1] It will be evaluated through a 3-hour theory exam worth 100 marks, two term tests worth 25 marks each, and an internal assessment worth 25 marks. [2] The syllabus covers 6 topics: mechanical properties of materials and stresses/strains, bending moment and shear force diagrams, moment of inertia calculations, bending stresses, combined direct and bending stresses, and torsion. [3] References for further reading on the course topics are also provided.

among E, G & K. Stresses & Strains in bars of uniformly varying section subjected to axial load at
ends only, composite sections having same length. Temperature stresses & strains of uniform &
composite sections.

& banding moment. Shear force & bending moment diagrams for cantilevers, simply supported beam
& over hanging beam subjected to point loads & uniformly distributed load. Location of point of
contraflexure.
