This course aims to teach the fundamental concepts of solid mechanics and their application to the study of linear parts under simple and traction/compression, torsion and flexion loads. This course also aims to develop the students’ ability to solve simple structural problems and to improve the students’ knowledge on solid mechanics.
Capability to design simple structures and mechanical components.
-Introduction to the theory of elasticity: tension (concept of tension, equilibrium equations, main tension, graphical representation of tensions, state of tension and cylindrical coordinate tension); - deformation (concept of deformation, law of transformation of deformations, principal deformations, compatibility equations, graphic representation of deformations, state plan of deformation, deformation equation in cylindrical coordinates); - Relation tension-deformation (Hooke’s law, elastic strain energy, failure criteria, formulation of general problems, Saint-Venant’s principle); stresses in cilindrical bodies. - 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).
Theoretical-Practical classes with exposition of the relevant theory and solving typical problems at the end of each unit. Suggestion of problems to be solved individually in class and at home.
