techniques.

Crystal Physics

Elasticity – Stress-strain diagram and its uses - factors affecting elastic modulus and tensile
strength – torsional stress and deformations – twisting couple - torsion pendulum: theory and
experiment - bending of beams - bending moment – cantilever: theory and experiment –
uniform and non-uniform bending: theory and experiment - I-shaped girders - stress due to
bending in beams

Properties Of Matter

Transfer of heat energy – thermal expansion of solids and liquids – expansion joints - bimetallic
strips - thermal conduction, convection and radiation – heat conductions in solids – thermal
conductivity - Forbe‘s and Lee‘s disc method: theory and experiment - conduction through
compound media (series and parallel) – thermal insulation – applications: heat exchangers,
refrigerators, ovens and solar water heaters
