Course content

Shear stress and shear strain. Plane stress and three-dimensional stress state. Generallized Hooke's law. Stresses in cylindrical and spherical vessels, pipes and beams. Principal stresses. Yield criteria: Tresca and Mises. Introduction to statically indeterminate systems. Buckling. Periodic motion: Undamped and damped, free and induced oscillations for systems with one degree of freedom. Idealization of structures to systems with one degree of freedom.

Learning outcome

The subject is a continuation of TKT4116 Mechanics 1, and these two courses shall provide the student a general and good basis in solid state mechanics. The student shall understand the basis of, shall calculate and shall evaluate results related to simple static undetermined systems, shear stresses due to shear force and torque, plane stress- and strain analysis, simple beam buckling and free and forced oscillations of one degree of freedom systems.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and exercises. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral exam.
