Main themes

The objective of this course is to show how the theory of isotropic linear elasticity enables to solve a large class of problems stemming from the design of structures and equipments. Although the majority of industrial problems are solved nowadays with numerical software, it is essential that the student first learns how to solve analytically a number of simple problems and understands their physics. This is why the course will develop solutions related to bending, torsion, thermal stresses, buckling, etc. The theory of beams, commonly known as strength of materials, is a simplified theory which represents a very important particular case. Some methods for computing statically determinate or indeterminate beam structures are presented and several examples are studied.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :
1	In consideration of the reference table AA of the program "Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering", this course contributes to the development, to the acquisition and to the evaluation of the following experiences of learning: AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3 AA2.2, AA2.4, AA2.5 AA3.1, AA3.2 AA5.3, AA5.5, AA5.6 AA6.2, AA6.4 Analytical solutions of several problems of solid mechanics with the theory of isotropic linear elasticity. Use the theory of strength of materials to solve statically determinate or indeterminate beam problems.
