GATE Syllabus is based on the different streams according to the qualifying examination.
IIT Kanpur is responsible for conducting the GATE 2024 exam.
There are a total of 29 different papers. These will be conducted for providing admissions to the M.Tech programs offered by the IITs and IISCs.
The GATE syllabus 2024 will be the same as the previous year. Candidates need to review the GATE syllabus 2024 for the stream that they will be appearing for. The syllabus defines the topics that need to be prepared for appearing in the examination.
This article will give you complete information regarding the GATE Solid Mechanics Syllabus 2024.
GATE Solid Mechanics Syllabus (XE_D) 2024
Equivalent force systems; free-body diagrams; equilibrium equations; analysis of determinate trusses and frames; friction; particle kinematics and dynamics; dynamics of rigid bodies under planar motion; law of conservation of energy; law of conservation of momentum.
Stresses and strains; principal stresses and strains; Mohr’s circle for plane stress and plane strain; generalized Hooke’s Law; elastic constants; thermal stresses; theories of failure.
Axial, shear, and bending moment diagrams; axial, shear, and bending stresses; combined stresses; deflection (for symmetric bending); torsion in circular shafts; thin-walled pressure vessels; energy methods (Castigliano’s Theorems); Euler buckling.
Free vibration of a single degree of freedom systems.
Conclusion
The syllabus of solid mechanisms may seem concise but isn’t. It is full of complex numerical and derivations. The candidates are recommended to not take it lightly and follow a meticulous approach to score well in the subject.
Additionally, it is important to follow a credible and reliable set of study material for your preparation. Keep relevant books and revise them repeatedly.
Maintain consistency and follow a healthy routine.
Good luck!
