Course content
- Hooke's law
- Statically indeterminate structures
- Moment-area method
- 3-moment equation
- Differential equation method for deformations of beams
- Stress in arbitrary cross sections with Mohr's circle
- Torsion
- Real and virtual work and the principle of virtual work
- Strain Analysis with Mohr's circle
- Failure criteria
- Unit load method
- Moment-loaded unsymmetrical cross section

Learning outcome
The course builds on the course Mechanics 1 and goes deeper into statics and strength of materials. Elasticity theory is treated more thoroughly, and plasticity is introduced. The course contributes to the D-string of the study program, i.e. digitalization/digital competence in the use of current calculation software in the connection with compulsory activities. After completion of the course the student should be able to:
Knowledge:
- Explain the principles of equilibrium and elasticity
- Describe basic concepts such as Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and Navier hypothesis
- Know different methods for calculation of statically determinate and indeterminate structures
- Explain Tresca and von Mises yield criterion
Skills:
- Calculation of forces, bending moments and stresses
- Make general moment equations
- Use Mohr diagram to determine the principal stresses
- Utilize the theory of elasticity theory and the theory of plasticity
- Be able to use digital tools for calculations
General competence:
- Know about solving statics with matrices and the use of the Finite Element Method and calculation programs
Learning methods and activities
Scheduled time: lectures: 60 hours; organized guidance: 60 hours; work with compulsory assignments: 120 hours; other preparation: 50 hours; a total of 290 hours. Compulsory work requirements: 6 to 8 exercises, all of which except one must be approved.
Compulsory assignments
- Compulsory assignments
Further on evaluation
If fail: Re-sit of written exam in May/June. Written exams can be changed to oral exams after assessment by the teacher.
