Course detail
Elasticity and Plasticity (1)
FAST-D27Acad. year: 2016/2017
The topics of the course are designed to follow subject "Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics". Fundamental concepts of strength of material are introduced first: Stress and strain definitions, Hooke´s law, Saint- Venaint´s principle, basic diferential equations.
Then different types of elementary loading are studied: Tension and compression, shear – riveted and bolted joints, bending of beams – normal and shearing stresses, shear centre, torsion, buckling of bars and combined loadings – bending in two planes, excentric tension (compression), core of the cross section. The methods for determination of deflections of beams are also explained: Method of integration of differential equations, Mohr‘s method. Stress state in a point of a body – uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial state of stress, principle stresses for biaxial state of stress, principal stress trajectories and energetic approaches are also included. The course is closed by explanation of basic strength theories of mechanical failure of materials.
