AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This course aims to introduce the fundamentals of statics and construction science, with a focus on analyzing the equilibrium of a rigid body and on studying the mechanical behavior of materials and simple structures, both in terms of resistance and deformability. The applications concern the analysis and mechanical design of simple industrial design objects and are based on the verification of the bearing capacity and functionality of the object, i.e. the object's ability to withstand external pressure without collapsing or malfunctioning.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of this course, students will be expected to:
- Define the necessary boundary conditions for structural systems to be labile, isostatic or hyperstatic;
- Apply the principles of the statics of rigid bodies to calculate boundary reactions within statically determined flat systems;
- Quantify the state of internal stress within the above systems and graphically depict it using stress-strain diagrams;
- Determine the geometric characteristics of a flat surface (center of gravity, first moment of area, moment of inertia) influencing the state of stress and strain of the structural systems analyzed;
- Carry out the required procedures to verify material resistance and for the design of the cross-section of structural elements subject to pressure-bending.
