- 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 student will be familiar with
modern approaches to determining the strength and stiffness of
materials and the application of these properties in practice.
1. Anlysis of determinate structures (single- and multi-beam structures).
2. Definition and analysis of Trusses (determinate).
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. Hooke's
law. - Reference texts

- 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
- Rational Mechanics.
The exam should demonstrate the student's familiarity with the relevant

in a coherent form adhering to academic writing conventions. - Teaching methods
- Lectures and seminars will be delivered by the module tutor.
- Other information
- Disabled students and/or with DSA, can contact the teacher of this course
directly because she is the contact professor for disability and DSA in
Engineering Department - Learning verification modality
- Interview and written exam (closed book).
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. - Extended program
