Learning Outcomes
Students should ndestand stresses, deformations and displacements as the crucial properties for the design of beams as well as the mechanical relations between these properties. They should be able to calculate and use these quantities for the design of static and overstatic beams subjected to tension, compression, bending, shearing, torsion and combined loading. Students should be able to check and calculated instability of beams. They should be able to apply energetic methods (Castigliano) for the design of beams subjected to tension, compression, bending, shearing, torsion and combined loading.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Work in an international context
  • Work in an interdisciplinary team
  • Generate new research ideas
Course Content (Syllabus)
