Course content
STATICS: Statics basis. Forces and bending moment. Static equilibrium. Trusses and frames. Point loads and distributed loads. Statically determinate and indeterminate systems. Normal forces, shear forces and bending moment.
MECHANICS OF MATERIALS: Centroid of area and 2nd moment of area. Stresses and strains. Elasticity, plasticity and fracture. Stress analysis. Normal and shear stress. Deformations. Introduction to buckling and statically indeterminate systems.
Learning outcome
The course will provide the basis for more detailed and complex issues and calculations in topics coming later in the study. The course contributes to the D-string of the study program, i.e. digitalization/ digital competence, through use of calculation software in connection with compulsory activities.
Knowledge
The candidate should:
- be able to explain how forces and stresses work on structures and what is happening in the structure itself when it is loaded
- have a good knowledge of the simplified beam theory (Euler-Bernoulli) and know how it can be used in practical situations
- have a good knowledge of the basic relationship of the subject areas history, traditions, individuality and place in the society
- know research and development within the field of skills
Skills
The candidate should be able to:
- apply her/his knowledge in mechanics on simple practical tasks
- calculate reaction forces and other forces in simple truss and frame structures for different loadings
- calculate, outline and interpret diagrams for axial force, shear force and bending moment in simple constructions
- calculate normal stresses and shear stresses in different sections of structural elements
- calculate strains and displacements in different directions
- calculate principal stresses and principal strains
- use digital tools for calculations
General competence
The candidate should:
- have knowledge of relevant professional ethical issues
- have a good understanding of the relationship between the basic theory and the practical applications of the subject
- have a good knowledge of the principles of equilibrium and elasticity
- have basic understanding of structures
- have acquired a good academic basis and good understanding of mechanics for other subjects in the study to build upon
- have acquired an understanding of basic issues and be able to communicate these to others within their own fields of study
- understand the relationship between outer stresses on a construction and material properties
- be able to use physical insight to analyze and solve statics and strength of materials problems within the framework of the syllabus of the course
- use a basic relevant term and formula apertures
