Content(s)

This course introduces the student to the vital concepts of the analysis of the behaviour of mechanical structures under quasi-static loads.
It provides the analytical tools and essential models required for structural design.
Continuum mechanics concepts associated to solids are presented: equilibrium equations, stress, strain, constitutive law for linear, isotropic, thermoelastic solids.
The concept of yield criterion and the simplest resolution methods of analytical problems are addressed.
Practical works focus on (1) the use of numerical methods to solve analytical problems, and (2) experimental analysis of beams under bending, twisting, a thick tube under pressure, and a plate with a hole under compression.
