ABOUT THE COURSE: Beams, plates and shells are fundamental structural elements in the field of mechanical engineering, civil structures, automobile and aerospace engineering. Therefore analysis of these basic structural elements are required for design and development. This course presents systematic development of plate governing equations using the variational calculus. Basic analytical solutions techniques are discussed for bending, free vibration and buckling cases. Further this approach can be applied to develop governing equation and solutions for functionally graded plate, piezoelectric plates (current research topics).INTENDED AUDIENCE: Final year B.Tech, M.Tech and Pre-Ph.D students in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering and Applied Mechanics departments, Faculties who work in solid Mechanics/Continuum Mechanics PREREQUISITES: Advanced Solid Mechanics or Theory of Elasticity. INDUSTRY SUPPORT: ABAQUS, ANSYS, ISRO
