21010187 - FUNDAMENTAL OF STRUCTURAL

To provide basic knowledge of physical-mathematical models suitable for understanding the structural behaviour, with applications to simple cases of mechanical systems in two dimension.
Course topics range from rigid body kinematics and equilibrium to linearized model of deformable beams, by means of the notions of constitutive relationships and internal stress states, leading to the mechanical characterization of both stiffness and strength in beam systems.

Modalità Erogazione

The course is taught by lectures and practical exercises. Teaching bases on regular interaction between teacher and students. Guided practice and intermediate practice tests are scheduled during the duration of the course. Experimental tests in Lab can be provided by appointment only.

Modalità Frequenza

Students are strongly encouraged to attend to their class for both theory and practice. According to the Degree programme teaching regulation, at least 75% of attendance needs to take the final examination during the current academic year.

Modalità Valutazione

Final assessment is both oral and written. Students who will attend lectures successfully, and then pass (at least two) intermediate examinations during the course, can access to the final interview directly. The final exam score is not affected by the grades obtained in the written tests. Written examinations are a 2.5-hour test, involving one exercise of the same level of tests faced during the course.
