by doing). Teaches you how to face a new and tough problem
and how to think
 To be submitted in time. No late submission accepted
 Copying not allowed
CC grade in an assignment; zero to both students
+1 % penalty of the course
 Corrected by me or my Mtech students of second year

 Two approaches Ch0/S7

Solid Mechanics (PG)

Strength of materials (UG) - More rigorous
- Much simpler - Many partial
- Assumptions made differentials
on deformation - Powerful
- Approx. approach - More complex
- Only simple - Base of numerical
problems solvable software packages
 Ch0/S8
Strength of materials approach SST

 Ch0/S10
This course

• 3D
• VISVUALIZE
• TO THINK
• CONCEPTS FORMULATION

SOLUTION
• EXAMS: Requires to think; just formula plug-in may
not work
• ‘WHY?’ Important in this course
 Ch0/S11
This course (Continued)
• Not an extension of Strength of materials course
• New ball game
SOM: Gulli-danda
MOS: Cricket
• Course is massive: Be regular
• A new language of linear algebra using tensors with Einstein
summation convention
• Coordinate system   𝑥3

 𝑥2
