- After the course the student will be able to use fundamental theory and
analysis techniques to solve basic problems in structural mechanics and
understand the behaviour of structural elements under different load
actions.
The student will be able to determine the support reactions, axial force,
shear force and bending moment diagrams for a statically determinate
plane system of beams and to determine stress fields in a beam
according to De Saint Venant's principle. - Prerequisites
- Vectorial operations, matrix operations, basic issues of linear algebra,
analytic geometry, differential geometry, functions of one or several variables (concept of limit, differentiation rules, integration rules, Taylor series). - Teaching methods
- Practical and theoretical classes.
- Other information
- Disabled students and/or with DSA, can contact the teacher of this course
directly (she is the contact professor for disability and DSA of Engineering
Department. - Learning verification modality
- The exam consists in a in-class test and an oral interview.
The test includes a statically determinate beam system and the
determination of principal axes of inertia and stresses in the section of a
De Saint Venant solid.
The oral interview is based on two or three theoretical questions. - Extended program
- -Mechanics of elastic solids (concepts of stress and strain; elasticity
theory)
- Beam theory of linearly elastic isotropic beam subject to extension,
flexure, shear and torsion
failure criterion: Von Mises);
- Principle of virtual works;
- Statically determinate beams (classification of beams, types of
constraints, types of loads, Statics and kinematics of plane systems of
beams, equilibrium equations, internal forces – axial force, shear force,
bending moment)
