Objectives
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED:
LEARNING THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF KINEMATICS AND STATICS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONTINUOUS BODIES. TO KNOW THE CONSTITUTIVE BEHAVIOURS OF THE MOST COMMON BUILDING MATERIALS; IN PARTICULAR, ISOTROPIC AND HOMOGENEOUS ELASTIC MATERIALS. LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH THE STUDY OF MONODIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES MADE UP OF BEAMS, BOTH ISOSTATIC AND HYPERSTATIC. LEARN THE METHOD OF FORCES AND THE METHOD OF DISPLACEMENTS. ACQUIRE THE SKILLS RELATED TO THE STUDY OF CONSTRAINING REACTIONS, THE TRACING OF THE DIAGRAMS OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INTERNAL STRESS, THE ANALYSIS OF THE DEFORMED.
ACQUIRE THE ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF LOCAL TENSIONS IN BEAM SYSTEMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SAFETY CHECKS, BOTH IN THE PERMISSIBLE TENSIONS METHOD AND IN THE BOUNDARY STATE METHOD. IN PARTICULAR, THE STUDY OF THE STATIC BEHAVIOUR OF PEAK-LOADED BEAMS IS ENVISAGED.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
TO KNOW IN GENERAL THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF CONTINUOUS BODIES, MAIN PROPERTIES OF LOCAL DEFORMATION, STRESS TENSOR, CONSTITUENT BONDS, STATIC PROBLEM AND KINEMATIC PROBLEM FOR BEAM SYSTEMS.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
TO HAVE MASTERY OF STRESS ANALYSIS METHODS, INCLUDING THE FORCE METHOD; TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE SIMPLE PATTERNS, BOTH ISOSTATIC AND HYPERSTATIC.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT:
KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY, THANKS TO THE BASIC CONCEPTS ACQUIRED, THE PROPERTIES OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE STATICS OF BEAM SYSTEMS.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
KNOW HOW TO PRESENT THE PROPERTIES OF ANY PROBLEM INHERENT TO THE STATICS OF BEAM SYSTEMS.
ABILITY TO LEARN:
KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE TO DEAL WITH MORE COMPLEX SITUATIONS.
Prerequisites
EXAMS OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS II, RATIONAL MECHANICS/STATICS ARE REQUIRED.
Contents
THE CLASS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS:
- BASIC CONCEPTS OF CONTINUUM MECHANICS; STRESS AND STRAIN TENSORS; CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS; FAILURE CRITERIA (1/4 OF THE CLASS HOURS)
- STATICS AND KINEMATICS OF 2D STRUCTURAL SCHEMES: FREE-BODY DIAGRAMS; FUNICULAR POLYGONS AND FORM-FINDING PROBLEMS; AXIAL-FORCE, SHEAR AND BENDING-MOMENT DIAGRAMS (1/4 OF THE CLASS HOURS);
- THEORY OF ELASTIC BEAMS: TIMOSHENKO AND EULERO-BERNOULLI THEORIES; PRINCIPLE OF VIRTUAL WORK; INRODUCTION TO FORCE AND DISPLACEMENT METHODS FOR ELASTIC STRUCTURES (1/4 OF THE CLASS HOURS);
- DESIGN OF BEAMS AND COLUMNS FOR AXIAL-FORCE, SHEAR AND BENDING, INCLUDING STRENGTH AND STABILITY ANALYSIS (1/4 OF THE CLASS HOURS);.
Teaching Methods
THE CLASS INCLUDES THEORETICAL LECTURES (50%) AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES (50%).
Verification of learning
THE FINAL TEST IS COMPOSED OF ONE WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW.
THE WRITTEN TEST IS CONCERNED WITH THE CLASSIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF A STATICALLY DETERMINATE STRUCTURE; THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A PLANE TRUSS; AND THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A STATICALLY INDETERMINATE STRUCTURE (ONE AGGREGATE TEST OR THREE SEPARATE TESTS, AS COMUNICATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CLASS)
THE ORAL INTERVIEW COVERS THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE DIFFERENT CLASS MODULES.
