Course content

Statically determinate structures: Beams, plane trusses and frames. Axial force, shear force and bending moment distribution in structures. Stress, strain and elasticity. Two- and three-dimensional states of stress. Yield and failure criteria.

Learning outcome

This basic course in mechanics provides basic knowledge of statics and strength of materials. The course is compulsory for students in Petroleum and Geo-technology.

TKT4126 Mechanics has the following objectives:

Knowledge:
A candidate will get knowledge of
- important mechanical quantities such as force and moment
- equilibrium equations
- statically determinate structures: beams, trusses and frames
- definition of stress and strain
- stress in idealised structures such as axial rods, pipes and rings subjected to typical loadings.
- failure criteria (Tresca, Mises)
- basic linear elasticity theory

Skills:
A candidate will be able to:
- calculate the forces in statically determinate structures
- calculate and sketch a load-diagram (M-,V- and N-diagram)
- calculate stresses and strains of idealised structures subjected to typical loading
- perform simple deformation analyses
- evaluate the risk of failure

General competence:
A candidate will be able to:
- apply basic principles in statics and strength of materials
- perform simple analyses within the framework of the course

Learning methods and activities

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