PAPER CODE - PCC CE 301

PCC CE 301 Mechanics of Materials L:3 T:0 P:0 CREDIT:3

The objective of this Course is to introduce continuum mechanics and

material modeling of engineering materials based on first energy principles:
deformation and strain; momentum balance, stress and stress states; elasticity and
elasticity bounds; plasticity and yield design. The overarching theme is a unified
mechanistic language using thermodynamics, which allows understanding, modelling and
design of a large range of engineering materials. The subject of mechanics of
materials involves analytical methods for determining the strength, stiffness
(deformation characteristics), and stability of the various members in a structural
system. The behavior of a member depends not only on the fundamental laws that govern
the equilibrium of forces, but also on the mechanical characteristics of the
material. These mechanical characteristics come from the laboratory, where materials
are tested under accurately known forces and their behavior is carefully observed and
measured (learnt in the previous course on Materials, Testing & Evaluation). For this
reason, mechanics of materials is a blended science of experiment and Newtonian
postulates of analytical mechanics.

MC 401 Environmental Science L:3 T:0 P:0 CREDIT:0

We as human beings are not an entity separate from the environment around us
rather we are a constituent seamlessly integrated and co-exist with the environment
around us. We are not an entity so separate from the environment that we can think of
mastering and controlling it rather we must understand that each and every action of

15
ours reflects on the environment and vice versa. Ancient wisdom drawn from Vedas
about the environment and its sustenance reflects these ethos. There is a direct
application of this wisdom even in modern times. Idea of an activity based course on
environment protection is to sensitize the students on the above issues through
following two type of activities:

Awareness Activities:

➔ Small group meetings about water management, promotion of recycle use,

generation of less waste, avoiding electricity waste
➔ Slogan making events
➔ Poster making events
➔ Cycle rally
➔ Lectures from experts

Actual Activities:

➔ Plantation
➔ Gifting a tree to see its full growth
➔ Cleanliness drive
➔ Drive for segregation of waste
➔ To live some big environmentalist for a week or so to understand his work
➔ To work in kitchen garden for mess
➔ To know about the different varieties of plants
➔ Shutting down the fans and ACs of the campus for an hour or so
