About the course
Aim
The aim of the course is to give the students’ knowledge within structural mechanics and strength of materials as a basis for abilities within structural design. For areas included in the course, the students should be able to:
- Explain and use terms such as normal and shearing force, bending and torsion moment, stress, strain, elongation, deflection.
- Describe various elements of structure and types of structures and explain modes of action.
- Calculate external and sectional entities as well as deflections for combinations of standard cases and combinations of these.
- Calculate stresses for typical loads and simple elements of structure.
Content
- Planar power systems, bar structures, statically determined structures
- Stresses
- Theoretical calculations of elasticity such as traction and pressure, bending, bending with normal force, shear, buckling
- Statically indeterminate beams
- Calculations with plasticity theory
- Deformation calculations
- Using a statics program;
- Assess the reasonableness of calculations made by making appropriate approximations;
- Examiner

- Scheduled hours
- 48 h
