Objectives

This course aims to acquaint students with the fundamental concepts of solid mechanics: Its application to the study of linear parts under simple and traction/compression solicitation, torsion and flexion.
This course also aims to develop students’ ability to solve simple structural problems and improve students’ knowledge on solid mechanics.

Program

-Introduction to the theory elasticity: state of tension (concept of tension, equilibrium equations, main tension, graphic representation of tensions, state of tension and cylindrical coordinate tension);
- state of deformation (concept of deformation, law of transformation and deformation, main deformations, compatibility equations, graphic representation of deformations, state plan of deformation, deformation equation in cylindrical coordinates);
- Relation tension-deformation (Hooke’s law, elastic energy of deformation, resistance criteria, theory of elasticity: general problems, Saint-Venant’s principle);
- Linear parts torsion: cylindrical shaft of circular section; prismatic shaft (Saint-Vennant’s theory, elliptic section shaft); Prandtl’s Membrane analogy; circular shaft of variable section.
- Flexion beam - pure flexion; composed beam of different materials; deviated flexion; combined flexion with normal stress, torsion and cutting stress; beam deformation to flexion (elastic equation and conjugated beam).
