The students in this course are required to analyse reasons for failure of different components and select the required materials for different applications. For this purpose, it is essential to teach them concepts, principles, applications and practices covering stress, strain, bending moment, shearing force, shafts, columns and springs. Hence this subject has been introduced. It is expected that efforts will be made to provide appropriate learning experiences in the use of basic principles to the solution of applied problems to develop the required competencies.
