Objectives (course unit)
The students learn to understand the basics of strength of materials as well as the most important strength properties of wood and steel. They know the different stresses and the dependencies between strain, stress and transformations. The students understand how the cross-section, shape, size and material affect the stress and transformations. The students are able to calculate the strain of a straight rod for different forms of strain as well as to measure a buckling rod.
Content (course unit)
The basic concepts of strength of materials, material properties, the drawing test for steel, Hooke’s law, elasticity theory and tension allowed. Magnitudes of cross-section geometry. Strain and transformation in different stress formats, measuring a rod for normal force, bending moment and shear force. Stability and buckling of a rod. Assignment.
