Objectives
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
TO LEARN BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE STATICS AND KINEMATICS OF BODIES. LEARN HOW TO APPROACH THE STUDY OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES DETERMINED BOTH STATICALLY AND KINEMATICALLY.

ACQUIRE SKILLS RELATING TO THE STUDY OF CONSTRAINT REACTIONS, THE DRAWING OF DIAGRAMS OF INTERNAL STRESS CHARACTERISTICS. ACQUIRE SKILLS RELATING TO THE STUDY OF KINEMATICS IN SMALL AND LARGE DISPLACEMENTS.

KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS
TO KNOW IN GENERAL THE STATIC PROBLEM AND KINEMATIC PROBLEM FOR BEAM SYSTEMS.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
MASTER THE METHODS OF ANALYSING BEAM SYSTEMS DETERMINED BOTH STATICALLY AND KINEMATICALLY IN SMALL DISPLACEMENTS.


AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT
BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY, THANKS TO THE BASIC CONCEPTS ACQUIRED, THE PROPERTIES OF THE MOST COMMON
PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE STATICS OF BEAM SYSTEMS.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THE PROPERTIES OF ANY PROBLEM INHERENT TO THE STATICS OF SYSTEMS
OF BEAMS.

LEARNING SKILLS
TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE PRESENTED
DURING THE COURSE TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS OF GREATER COMPLEXITY.
Prerequisites
TO HAVE PASSED THE EXAMS OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS II, LINEAR ALGEBRA AND PHYSICS I
Contents
THE COURSE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS:
ALGEBRA AND VECTOR CALCULUS (5H)
GEOMETRY OF MASSES (5H)
ANALYTICAL AND GRAPHIC STATICS (8H)
EQUILIBRIUM OF CABLES(2H)
EQUILIBRIUM OF BEAMS (STRESSES, RESTRAINTS) (10H)
KINEMATICS OF RIGID BODY SYSTEMS (10H)
PRINCIPLE OF VIRTUAL WORK (10H)
OUTLINES OF RIGID BODY DYNAMICS (5H)
OUTLINE OF DYNAMICS OF DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS ELASTIC SYSTEMS (5H)
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS AND EXERCISES. THE CREDITS OF THE THEORETICAL LESSONS ARE EQUAL TO
4, AND THE CREDITS OF THE PRACTICAL LESSONS ARE EQUAL TO 2.
THERE IS AN OBLIGATION TO ATTEND WITH A MINIMUM ATTENDANCE OF 70% OF THE HOURS OF ACTIVITY
TEACHING (AS PER THE TEACHING REGULATIONS OF THE CDS). THE TEACHER WILL VERIFY ACHIEVEMENT
OF THE PERCENTAGE OF ATTENDANCE REQUESTED THROUGH ELECTRONIC SURVEY.
Verification of learning
AT THE END OF THE TEACHING, IT IS THERE IS AN EXAM CONSISTING OF A WRITTEN TEST
APPLICATION AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. THE WRITTEN TEST LASTS 3 OR 4 HOURS, DEPENDING
OF THE ASSIGNED EXERCISES. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WHICH FIRST INVOLVES THE
DISCUSSION OF THE EXERCISES CARRIED OUT DURING THE WRITTEN TEST AND SUBSEQUENTLY QUESTIONS ON THE
THEORETICAL PART OF THE COURSE. DURING THE INTERVIEW, THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT HE HAS
UNDERSTOOD AND HAVE CONTROL OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF STATICS.
THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (18/30) IS ASSIGNED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES UNCERTAINTY
IN THE APPLICATION OF THE PROPOSED METHODS AND PROCEDURES, AND HAS LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF
ONLY THE BASIC FUNDAMENTALS OF THE TOPICS COVERED.

THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (30/30) IS AWARDED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A
COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPOSED METHODS AND PROCEDURES, AND IS IN
ABLE TO SOLVE ASSIGNED PROBLEMS BY EFFICIENTLY AND ACCURATELY REACHING THEIR RESOLUTION
SOLUTION.
TO ACHIEVE HONORS, THE FOLLOWING WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT:
- THE QUALITY OF THE PRESENTATION, IN TERMS OF THE USE OF TECHNICAL/SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE
APPROPRIATE;
- THE ABILITY TO CROSS-CORRELATE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND, WHERE
POSSIBLE, WITH OTHER DISCIPLINES;
- DEMONSTRATED AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT.
