Course content

Statically determinate structures: Beams, plane trusses and frames. Axial force, shear force and bending moment distribution in structures. Introduction to mechanics of materials: Stress, strain and elasticity. Linear theory for beams: Bending stresses, differential equation for deformation of beams.

Learning outcome

The two basic courses Mechanics 1 and Mechanics 2 will give the students basic knowledge about statics and mechanics of materials. Mechanics 1 is mandatory for the following programs of study: MTBYGG, MTING, MTMART, MTPROD and MTIØT with technological specialization within Mechanical Engineering. The two courses Mechanics 1 and 2 create a foundation for the advanced courses in solid mechanics.

Mechanics 1 has the following learning outcome:

Knowledge:
The candidate will get knowledge of:
- Central mechanical quantities as force and moment
- Background and use of the equations of equilibrium
- The behaviour of typical components as bars, beams and cables.
- Calculation of the centroid of an area and other relevant cross section parameters.
- Definition of stress, strain, elasticity and lateral contraction
- Basic assumptions in linear beam theory

Skills:
The candidate will be skilled on:
- Calculate forces in static determinate structures
- Calculate and create diagrams of moments, shear and axial forces (M-, V- and N-diagrams)
- Calculate axial stresses and strains caused by N and M
- Perform simple deformation calculations
- Apply Matlab as a tool in analysis of problems in mechanics

General competence:
The candidate have competence in:
- Basic principals in statics and mechanics of materials
- Perform simple calculations by hand and with Matlab within the framework of the syllabus of the course

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, calculation exercises and laboratory exercise. Python or Matlab is applied in some exercise problems. Access to the exam requires that the laboratory exercise and 2/3 of the calculation exercises have to be approved.

Compulsory assignments

  • Øvinger

Further on evaluation

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