Main themes
Equilibrium of systems of rigid bodies
Internal loads
Stresses and strains
Principle of virtual work, as applied to static systems.

Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
At the outcome of this course, students are expected to : - 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 |
Content
- Graphical methods in statics - Research of static equilibrium by the technique of the potential power principle (PPP) and Lagrange's equations - Notion of dry friction and arch-buttress: application in the field of mechanisms, vehicles - Recall of the beam theory (supports and internal forces) and calculation of the beam deflection.
