Contents
The aim of this course is to explore, in some detail, the mechanical properties of materials and structures and to develop appropriate mathematical models to describe and predict the engineering behaviour of the structures. By the end of the course you will be familiar with modern approaches to determining the strength and stiffness of materials and the application of these properties in practice.

1. Mohr Circle.

2. Determinate structures (single- and multi-beam structures).

3. Definition and analysis of Trusses (determinate).

4. Elastic curves for determinate structures.

5. The theory of the Beam (De Saint Venant): stresses in beams (produced by axial load, bending moment, shearing force and Torque).

6. Centroids, first moments, second moments, radii of giration, principal directions, product of inertia.

7. Coefficient of Poisson, Young's modulus, isotropic materials.

Educational objectives
The exam should demonstrate the student's familiarity with the relevant literature on the subject and the ability to conduct analysis/research, interpret the findings and draw conclusions. The exam should be written in a coherent form adhering to academic writing conventions.
Prerequisites
Meccanica Razionale
Teaching methods
Lectures and seminars will be delivered by the module tutor.
Other information
The written and oral qualifying examination are administered by a committee composed of 3 members appointed by the dean of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the executive committee of the group. The examinations should be taken after the end of the course. The student will be examined on the topics of the course provided to the qualifying examination committee. The student will be examined also on general knowledge of mechanics of materials as well as in two specialized areas of determinate structures.
Learning verification modality
Interview and written exam (closed book)
