Mechanics of Solids at IIT Kanpur

After completion of this Mechanics of Solids certification syllabus, students can understand the mechanics of deformable solid bodies, which are introduced in this course. The course's primary objective is to prepare students with the knowledge and abilities necessary to solve mechanical problems. These skills include performing a static analysis of a component to identify internal actions (forces and moments), computing the stresses, strains, and deformation caused by internal actions, and comparing the results to accepted standards.

This calls for a command of the industry jargon, the ability to draw free-body diagrams, and an understanding of how materials react to loads. The ability of students to design engineering systems should improve. Students who complete this course can find work in civil construction companies, mechanical companies, aerospace engineering companies, material engineering companies, irrigation companies, and so on.
