Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, students should be able to:
- Analyze structural systems to determine stresses, strains and stress concentration for axial, torsional and bending loads
- Build shear and moment diagrams for simple structures in 2 dimensions.
- Estimate the influence of internal forces on the deformation and analyze statically undeterminate systems
- Utilize a numerical simulation software for stress analysis (Ansys Structural)
Content
- Introduction: review of Statics and Solid Mechanics (stress and strain)

- Axial loads: stress concentrations, stresses due to temperature change, solutions of hyperstatic systems

- Torsional loads: torsion of shafts due to applied torques, design of transmission shafts, stress concentrations

- Analysis of beams under later loads: shear and moment diagrams

- Pure bending of beams: normal stresses, properties of cross-sections

- Deflection of beams: elastic curve equation, resolution of hyperstatic systems
