NITKSURATHKAL

Since its inception in 1960, the National Institute of

Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal has established

itself as a premier Institution engaged in imparting quality

technological education and providing support to research

and development activities. NITK is conferred the status of

an Institution of National Importance vide NIT Act No.29 of

2007 by Govt. of India and is consistently ranked as one of

the top ten technical institutions in India. Presently, NITK

offers 9 Bachelors, 28 Masters and Doctoral Degree

programmes. The institute is located 22 kilometres north of

Mangalore City along the Kanyakumari-Mumbai National

Highway-66, amid 300 acres of sylvan surrounding with the

picturesque Western Ghats on the east and sun-kissed sands

of the Arabian Sea to the west.

NITK is committed to enhance capabilities and potential of

our human resources with the objective of transforming them

into leaders in their chosen areas of interest. Our vision is to

strive for excellence, be globally competitive in technical

education and focus on knowledge assimilation, generation

and dissemination. The year-long activities during the

occasion show cased the glorious contributions of NITK in

various fields of its activities and projected new initiatives for

the coming years.

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Mechanical Engineering established in

1960, the oldest and largest department of NITK, has earned

a good reputation as a centre for academic, research and

industrial consulting activities. Academic Programmesleading to B. Tech. degree in Mechanical Engineering, M.

Tech. degree in Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Thermal &

Design and Precision Engineering, and full time Ph.D degree

in the broad areas of Design, Manufacturing, Mechatronics,

Thermal Engineering are currently offered by the department.

Laboratories with state of the art equipments, highly qualified

faculty and dedicated supporting staff provide an ideal

environment for academic and research pursuits.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

In the preliminary stage of designing new machine

component that must perform a given mission in a

static/dynamic load environment, there are several factors the

designer should consider. Trade studies for different design

configurations should be performed and based on strength

and weight considerations, among others, an optimum

configuration selected. The selected design must be able to

withstand the environment in question without failure.

Therefore, a comprehensive stress analysis that consists of

determination of stresses and strains in materials and

machine components subjected to static or dynamic load, is

necessary to ensure the integrity of the machine. For many

years, stress analysis has become a necessary discipline for

the solution of many structural problems. These problems

include the prevention of yielding, breaking, crack forming

and propagating resulting from preexisting flaws or damages

in the parent material, welds, or that develop under cyclic

loading environment during in-service. The importance of

stress analysis in pressure vessels, nuclear, aircraft, airspace

and ship structural hardware cannot be overemphasized

where safety is of utmost concern.

The present workshop on stress analysis focuses on the

relevant topics of basic and contemporary mechanics of

science and engineering, numerical and experimentation

skills to identify the integrity of the machine members under

load environments.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES:

The objective of the workshop is to introduce the participants

to the emerging trends in the areas of stress analysisincluding basic and contemporary mechanics of science and

engineering, numerical and experimentation techniques.

PROGRAMME CONTENTS:

-Basic principles of various methods of stress analysis

-Numerical based techniques forstress analysis

-Experimental based stress analysis

-Engineering materials: Alloys, composites, etc.

Lectures will be delivered by NITK faculty and external

resource persons from leading educational institutions,

Industry and R&D centres.

ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION CRITERIA:

Programme is open to teachers, Research Scholars and PG

students of Engineering Colleges in the Department of

Mechanical/Production/Manufacturing and related

disciplines. Filled-in registration form, sponsorship

HOW TO REACH NITK

Being situated right on the NH-66, the Institute is very well

connected by bus routes to the North and South. Mangalore i s

also connected by NH-48 to Bangalore and there are a

number of luxury buses plying daily between Mangalore and

Bangalore all through the day. Surathkal, on the Konkan

Railway line (linking Mumbai to Kanyakumari), is the

nearest railway station and is a stopover for most trains

passing through Konkan Railway. While Surathkal and

Kankanady (Mangalore Jn.) are the closest alighting points

for visitors coming by train from north: Mangalore Central is

the terminus for many trains from South India. The

Mangalore (Bajpe) airport is just 20 km from the campus.
