Content
The presentation of the methods of calculation used in Resistance of the Materials is made in the form of lectures and exercises, concerning the following points:
- writing of equilibrium equations and calculation of bond reactions in the case of isostatic structures,
- plots of the load diagrams along the average fiber of a beam,
- Application of stress calculation formulas in the case of stressed beams in tension / compression, bending, shearing and torsion.

This presentation is supplemented by a course on strain gauge strain measurement, which is applied during a lab session.

There are two practical works :
- Gauge measurements: normal and tangential stress measurements, special gauge assemblies,
- dimensioning: use of the resistance of materials to pre-dimension a structure, verification of design using finite element calculation software.
Pre-requisites / co-requisites
Pre-requisites : Knowledge of static balance conditions in bonded solids.
Co-requisites : Solid mechanics course ECAM3-S5
