About

About the course

Course content

Principle of virtual work. Plastification, collapse analysis and plastic hinges. Strain energy. Virtual displacements and virtual forces. Unit load method. Static indeterminate systems. Deformations caused by temperature. Principle of stationary potential energy. Rayleigh-Ritz' method. Continuum mechanics/Theory of elasticity: Stresses and equilibrium, strains and compatibility, material law. Solution techniques. Classical thin-plate theory. Applications within 2D stress problems and plate problems.

Learning outcome

Mechanics 3 is a continuation of Mechanics 2, and gives a more general treatment of solid mechanics. The subject consists of two parts. Part one covers virtual work and the principle of stationary potential energy applied on bars, beams and frames. Part two presents theory of elasticity, applied within plane problems. The subject will give the necessary theoretical background on theory of elasticity and energy methods for TKT4180 and TKT4192.
