Advanced Statics
[FSAB1209]
[15h + 10h] 2 credits
This course is taught in the 1st semester.
Teacher(s): Paul Fisette
Language: French
Level: First
Aims
- know about the various types of external and internal joints and supports, as well as the related degrees of freedom
- understand the meaning of total and partial isostaticity and hyperstaticity
- be able to apply virtual work principles in solving problems of statics
- be able to determine internal loads and stresses and strains in a beam, as well as the resulting sizing of the beam
Main themes
Internal loads
Stresses and strains
Principle of virtual work, as applied to static systems.
Application of the above to the specific case of loaded beams and trusses

- Internal loads in loaded rigid bodies
- Traction and compression : stresses and strains
- Bending : stresses and strains
- Torsion : stresses and strains
- Loaded beams : strength and deformation sizing
