OBIETTIVI E CONTENUTI

OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI

Basic knowledge in structural mechanics modeling for buildings: frames, plates and shells. Fundamentals in structural dynamics: linear, elasto-plastic, isolated oscillators. Simple design criteria of passive control systems for building retrofitting. Experimental modal analysis through reduced scale-modeling in the laboratory.

OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI (DETTAGLIO) E RISULTATI DI APPRENDIMENTO

At the end of the course, the student will be able to describe the fundamental principles and concepts of structural mechanics.
The student will be able to deal with basic problems of structural dynamics and structural plasticity.
The student will be able to solve structural beam problems, plane stress/strain problems in elasticity and hyperstatic structures using the displacement method. 

MODALITA' DIDATTICHE

The module consists in 50 hours of frontal lessons, lab activities and in-class activities. Slides will be provided before each lesson. The presentation of theoretical contents alternates with exercises and applicative examples. The aim is to encourage learning and discussion employing the appropriate technical terminology in structural mechanics.

Working students and students with DSA certification, disabilities or other special educational needs are advised to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and exam methods which, in compliance with the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods

Si consigliano gli studenti lavoratori e gli studenti con certificazione di DSA, di disabilità o di altri bisogni educativi speciali di contattare il docente all’inizio del corso per concordare modalità didattiche e d’esame che, nel rispetto degli obiettivi dell’insegnamento, tengano conto delle modalità di apprendimento individuali
