Objectives (course unit)
The student understands the relationship between strain and load in beam, level and 3-dimensional structures.
The student is able to determine mathematical methods to determine the statically determined, undefined structure support reactions, stresses and deformations and to choose the appropriate solution.
He distinguishes hyperstatic structure from a given one and is able to determine static quantities of continuous beam and circumference by various manual counting methods.
The student understands the difference between elastic and plastic bending of the beam, recognizes the principle of compression joint and the use of the Gerber joint. The student knows the strength and deformation properties of materials and their multiplicity, which are needed to control the stability of load-bearing structures.
He has a deep understanding of the relationship between strain, tension, and strain.
Content (course unit)
The mathematical connection of stresses. Elastic deformation of the rod. the deflection
solution of differential equation. Deflection by Mohr's method. The effect of the indentation. Transitions by unit force method. Solutions for Statically Indefinite Structures. The differential equation of deflection,
force method, transition method, cross method, table solutions.
