29919 - Mechanical Behaviour of Materials T

Learning outcomes

Through this course, and upon completion of the final test, the student gains basic knowledge of mechanics of solids and static analysis of structures made of beams. These skills make the student able to solve basic problems related to the design or assessment of mechanical components.

Course contents

Recalls of rigid body equilibrium: forces, moments, and constraints.

External stresses on components: diagrams and maximum values.

Geometry of areas and masses: static and inertia moments.

Internal stresses in components: diagrams and maximum values.

Mechanical stiffness.

Mechanical properties of materials.

Prediction of fatigue life and fracture of components.
