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.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Students will be able to use the basics of the course and solve simple applications that are similar to the tasks being handled.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

In addition to the above, the student can apply the course units to different situations and can justify the solutions.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

In addition to the above, the student has a comprehensive understanding of the course topics and their use in problem solving, as well as the ability to present and justify logically selected solution methods.

Exam schedules

Kurssilla järjestetään kaksi välikoetta. Uusinnat ja korotukset erikseen sovittavina ajankohtina.

Assessment methods and criteria

Arvosana määräytyy välikokeiden arvosanojen keskiarvona.
Kokeiden arvosteluun voi saada hyvityspisteitä harjoitustehtävien suorittamisesta aikataulussa. Välikokeista on silti saatava 1/3 sen pisteistä.

Student workload

Etä-/lähiopetusta 4h/vko + itsenäinen opiskelu + harjoitustehtävien teko + kokeisiin valmistautuminen

Content scheduling

Kurssi on jaettu kahteen jaksoon, joiden lopuksi on välikokeet.
1. jakso: lujuusopin peruskäsitteet: jännitys, venymä, kimmokerroin, käyttöaste
2. jakso: taivutetun sekä puristetun ja nurjahtavan poikkileikkauksen kestävyys

Practical training and working life cooperation

Opintojaksolla opiskellaan luujuusopin perusasiat, joiden avulla käytännön työelämässä esiintyvien rakennusosien toimintaa voidaan ymmärtää.
