Course contents
Unit force method for calculation of displacements. Statically indeterminate structures: beams, 2D-frames and 2D-trusses. Shear stresses and shear strains. Shear stresses in beams. Torsion. 2D and 3D stress state. Hook’s law. Principle stresses and principle strains. Tresca and von Mises yield criteria.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student shall:
- Obtain theoretical basis necessary for calculation of deformations of the building structures and characterization of material behaviour under multiaxial loading.
- Be able to calculate the displacements of beams, frames and trusses using unit force method
- Be able to use the force method to find reaction forces in simple statically indeterminate structures: beams, frames and trusses
- Be able to calculate shear stress distribution in a beam cross-section
- Be familial with effective stress concept (Tresca and von Mises yield criteria) for multiaxial stress state
- Be familiar with stress transformation and calculation of principle stresses
- Be able to estimate material strength in case of combined normal and shear stresses
Examination requirements
Students must pass the compulsory assignments in order to take the examination.
Teaching methods
Lectures and exercises.
Evaluation
The study programme manager, in consultation with the student representative, decides the method of evaluation and whether the courses will have a midterm- or end of term evaluation, see also the Quality System, section 4.1. Information about evaluation method for the course will be posted on Canvas.
Assessment methods and criteria
Individual written exam 4 hours, graded assessment.
