E547: Why Stress & Strain?: Class#1🍑GT🐝SAP@IISc🥉🏫CoE3001👩🏻‍💻👷🏿‍♂️🧰Mechanics🤪of🫠Deformable🤥Bodies😱🤯🥴​

Dear fellow䷌yellow🏈jackets🧥of the GT-SAP-IISc 2026 cohort:
Acclimitization: 🪷namaskāram̐🙏&🇮🇳jaihind🌏... 🫶Hearty🙏welcome🤗to💝namma♨️🫛béṅgal̥ūrū🫘, IISc, CVH & NMCAD Lab❣️ Warm welcome also to fully utilize your rare-to-replicate bonanza of 🔟 consecutive long weekends to🛤️freespiritedly✈️travel🚄 & 🦚experience🍛samples🥞of🐅what🍘this😻lovely🛕country🥻has🕉️to🔯offer🪷, even🥭during🍉a🔥simmering🌞Indian😎summer🌻, followed🌦️by⛈️humid ☔️monsoons⚡️that💧almost🦄define🌈this🏳️‍🌈nation, agelessly♾️renowned📜for its divine hospitality.
TAs: In the midst of all this fun, my team of 2️⃣ TAs (IAF Gp Capt nañjappā hébbāl̥ē & ANRF CRG Project Associate rājēś M.) & I'll try our best to entertain you with🍑GT🐝Jr🥉:🏫CoE3001👩🏻‍💻:👷🏿‍♂️🧰Mechanics🤪of🫠Deformable🤥Bodies😱🤯🥴as part of your🙇🏻‍♀️Study🦅Abroad🌏Program🗺️2026🇺🇸@🇮🇳IISc🥼‼️
"Def Bodies": If searching for internet resources, please note that this same course, nicknamed as "Def Bodies" by us yellow jackets, with minor differences in content/emphasis, is called by various other names in other universities around the world: Strength of Materials (SoM); Mechanics of Materials (MoM); Deformation of Materials (DoM); Bars, Beams & Columns; Solid Mechanics; Theory of Elasticity etc.
What's in, What's out⁉️: We'll begin by quickly revising what you learnt in CoE2001: Statics, which is not only relevant but also a prerequisite to our auto gear shift. Then, we'll be dealing mostly with🗣️conceptual🎼physics🫸🏽🫷🏽& 𝜕simple😌math🧮for🤪happily🫠deforming🤥bodies such as axial bars, beams & columns, letting your later courses handle the terribly😱stressed-out🤯extremes🥴, 👷🏿‍♂️experiments🧰, 💻simulations👩🏻‍💻 & design optimization too, for all of which our takeaways of terminology & methodology from this course nonetheless will be the main fundamental building blocks‼️
Resources: We'll interact & share resources in-person as well as via email, MS Teams, & YouTube. You may get used to our joyful learning style by browsing through the following 4 playlists of previous GT cohorts:
Cohort#2, Georgia Tech AE3140:🛕Structural🧐Analysis🧩, IISc, 2024
Cohort#2, Georgia Tech AE2220: Dynamics, IISc, 2024
Cohort#1, Georgia Tech AE3140 Structural Analysis, IISc, 2023
Cohort#1, Georgia Tech AE2220: Dynamics, IISc, 2023
Class Hours: From May 18th to June 18th: 1️⃣1️⃣AM🕚to🕐1️⃣PM & from 2️⃣PM🕑to🕓4️⃣PM🇮🇳IST every Monday & Thursday. All our classes will be held in-person at the Reading Room in CVH.
Evaluation: We'll leverage the small size of our class to enhance our takeaways. In my experience, teaching is the best way to learn!!! With 20% weightage each, every afternoon session of the above 5 Thursdays will be nearly equally split amongst those of you crediting this course, i.e., 20–30min/student to teach the rest of us by walking us through how to solve any one problem of your own choice, but relevant to the topics covered in the classes that week from the problem sets (not already worked out examples) at the end of each chapter of our textbook: Goodno, Barry J., & James M. Gere. Mechanics of Materials. 9th ed., SI ed., Cengage Learning, 2018 or Enhanced Edition, 2021. If you have access to the hard/soft copies (accessible virtually through the Georgia Tech library) of any of the other editions of the book, that's fine too. The more challenging & involved the problem you choose to solve, the more the chances of you scoring higher, even if you stumble a bit in between. Start by clearly stating the problem, while it's continuously projected from your laptop onto the big screen. Use markers on the class whiteboard for the following:
Draw the free body diagrams (FBDs);
List out the knowns provided/assumed, unknowns to be determined & relevant equations to be used;
Explicitly state the units (only SI allowed, not FPS; convert between systems, if necessitated by the problem statement, being in other unit systems!!!) for every quantity, in every step throughout your derivation, thus ensuring at least the dimensional correctness of each equation;
Without skipping steps, walk & talk us logically from the unknowns to the knowns, via the equations, stating the assumption(s) invoked, if any, at each step, rather than together at the start/end; &
After your presentation, hand over to the TAs a handwritten (not printed) solution with all the above details. There's something beautiful about how our brains (as navigation, control & guidance systems) network with our writing hands (as actuators) to enhance the pedagogic value of the exercise. At equal weightage, your whiteboard presentation & handwritten solution will carry 10% each Thursday afternoon.
Office Hours: You may meet me on any Mon/Thu, immediately after the class@4PM🕓in the IISc Centenary Visitors House (CVH) 1st Floor Reading Room, right after we finish our class. You can also seek an MS Teams meeting appointment whenever necessary.
Bon voyage! Enjoy your travels from wherever you're to our beautiful green campus. May the next 10 weeks in bhārat i.e., India, inspire you for life.
