- Description:
-
The principal objective of the course is to familiarise students with the application of basic principles of mechanics to the determination of the distribution of internal forces in statically determined structures, cross-sectional properties and the elementary definition of stress.
- Contents:
-
1. Definition of internal forces - normal force, shear force and bending moment in two and three dimensions, sign convention
2. Evaluation of internal forces at a given point from equilibrium
3. Differential equations of equilibrium, normal force, shear force and bending moment diagrams by integration
4. Distribution of internal forces on simple straight and inclined beams
5. Distribution of internal forces on curved beams
6. Test I.
7. Distribution of internal forces on compound beam-column structures
8. Geometry of mass and areas, center of gravity
10. First and second moments of area (moments of inertia), radii of gyration, ellipse of inertia
11. Test II.
12. Elementary definition of stress, structural load, design codes
13. Review lecture
