Objectives To gain appreciation and understanding in the application of elastic and elastic-plastic stress analyses for beams and cylinders under combined stresses. To gain an appreciation of the effect of residual stress and its significance.
Synopsis Elastic stress analyses for round and prismatic bars (open and closed profiles) in torsion, combined bending and torsion, thick-walled cylinders, long and short beams, stress concentration, stress function and Castigliano's Theorem. Elastic-plastic analyses for bending, torsion and thick-walled cylinders. The concept of residual stress and springback will be introduced.
