Educational objectives
The main learning outcomes envisaged include the ability of the students to solve hyperstatic structures subject to any load conditions including temperature variations and vertical compliace; problems of concentrated elasticity beam stability and with diffuse elasticity. Acquisition of basic knowledge to deal with the study of simple experimental systems, in the context of the analysis of tension and deformation and problems o mechanical behavior of materials.
Prerequisites
In order to be able to understand the concepts described within the Course, Students must have successfully passed the "Foundation of Structural Mechanics" exam.
Teaching methods
methods The course is organized as follows: - lectures on all subject of the course; - laboratory activity on materials and structures.
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
The oral examination requires solving one structure statically indetermine and a question on one of the other topics covered in the course.
Extended program
The course integrates with the previous courses in structural mechanics. In particular, reconnecting with the concepts of statics of the inflected beam, the following topics will be developed, mainly in the application field: 1. Static Recalls and Insights 2. Calculation of inflected beam displacements using Mohr teroremas. Rotations and inflections. 3. Resolution of symmetric and hemisymmetric structures. 4. The stability of the elastic balance. Concentrated elasticity structures. Structures with diffuse elasticity. The critical load. 5. Resolution of indeterminate statically structures by the method of forces, subjected to thermal variations (uniform and butterfly), elastic and inelastic compliance. 6. Elastic line equation, for statically determinate and indeterminate beams. 7. Laboratory activities for mechanical tests on structural structures and materials. 8. Structural robustness and methodologies for its achievement. Fragile materials: structural glass.
