Strength of Materials I

Strength of Materials I

Code	10288
Year	2
Semester	S2
ECTS Credits	6
Workload	PL(30H)/T(30H)
Scientific area	Mechanics and Structures
Entry requirements	Statics and Continuous Solid Mechanics.
Learning outcomes	The curricular unit aims to provide training in the following areas: - mechanical properties of materials; - geometric characteristics and properties of cross sections; - calculation of stresses due to 4 internal forces in linear parts; - yield and rupture criteria for ductile materials; - safety check in relation to the limit state of resistance; - energy theorems. It is intended that students obtain the following skills: a) understand the mechanical behavior of materials, in a fundamental approach to the concept of resistance, stiffness, yielding and rupture; a) design bars subjected to axial stress inserted in iso/hyperstatic structures; b) calculate the geometric properties of cross sections; c) dimension and check the safety of beams subjected to bending, shear and torsion; d) determine displacements in trusses; e) calculate the reference stress using the yield criteria.
Syllabus	1 - Introduction to Strength of Materials; 2 - Linear members under axial force; 3 - Geometrical properties of cross-sections; 4 - Energetic methods; 5 - Linear members under torsion; 6 - Linear members under bending moment and shear.
