Synopsis:

The principal objective of the course is to familiarise students with the application of basic principles of mechanics to the determination of the distribution of internal forces in statically determined structures, cross-sectional properties and the elementary definition of stress.

Requirements:

132SM01 or 132ST01

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Definition of internal forces - normal force, shear force and bending moment in two and three dimensions, sign convention

2. Evaluation of internal forces at a given point from equilibrium

3. Differential equations of equilibrium, normal force, shear force and bending moment diagrams by integration

4. Distribution of internal forces on simple straight and inclined beams

5. Distribution of internal forces on curved beams

6. Test I.

7. Distribution of internal forces on compound beam-column structures

8. Geometry of mass and areas, center of gravity

10. First and second moments of area (moments of inertia), radii of gyration, ellipse of inertia

11. Test II.

12. Elementary definition of stress, structural load, design codes

13. Review lecture

Syllabus of tutorials:

The outline of exercises follows the design of lectures.

Study Objective:

The student will be able to solve the internal forces on plane beams and 3D cantilevers. Furthermore, the student will know the procedures of calculations of cross-sectional characteristics.
