SOLID MECHANICS

PROF. AJEET KUMAR


Department of Mechanical Engineering
IIT Delhi

PRE-REQUISITES : 1st year engineering mechanics


INTENDED AUDIENCE : Any Interested Learners

COURSE OUTLINE :
This is the first course where deformation of solid bodies and the underlying concepts are introduced to
undergraduate students. The course begins by building foundation of the concepts of stress and strain in
three-dimensional deformable bodies. It further uses these concepts to study extension, torsion and
bending of beams. The one-dimensional theory of beams are also introduced. We also discuss various
theories of failure which are critical for design of machine elements in industry.

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR :
Prof. Ajeet Kumar is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied
Mechanics at IIT Delhi. He received his PhD from the Department of Theoretical & Applied
Mechanics at Cornell University. He primarily works in the field of solid mechanics. His key topics of
research are: Theory of continuum and nano rods, Finite deformation elastoplasticity, Computational
Mechanics, Molecular modeling, Fluid-structure interaction, etc.
