- The course aims to provide students with the skills necessary to evaluate the resistance capacity of an object (Product design) with respect to the mechanical stresses to which it can be subjected, with particular reference to the connection between the shape and the state of stress in the material.Students will acquire the tools for a preliminary analysis of the static behavior of objects made of some fundamental structural types, such as cables, beams, frames, arches, membranes, thin shells.
- Prerequisites
- Knowledge of the concept of force, work energy. Newton's laws and equilibrium of forces. Knowledge of the concepts of derivative and integral. Understanding the physico-chemical characteristics of the materials.
- Teaching methods
- The course is organized with Face-to-face lectures on all subjects of the course.Moreover in some cases active learning approaches as flipped-classroom, learning-by-doing and think-aloud could be used.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam consists of an oral test consisting on an interview about half an hour long, aiming to ascertin the knowledge level and the understanding capability acquired by the student on theoretical and methodological contents as indicated on the.The oral exam will also test the student communication skills and his autonomy in the organization and exposure of the theoretical topics.
- Extended program
- Introduction; Loads; Balance, Stability and Resistance; Graphical Statics; Tensions and deformations; Behavior of Structural Materials; Basic States of Stress; Tension and Compression Elements; Beams; Geometry of Areas; Frames and Arches; Composition of Structural Elements; Trusses; Slabs; Membranes; Thin Shells and Spatial Trusses
