Summary
This course allows students to learn the basic strength of materials concepts and apply them to the analysis and study of simple mechanical systems. They will be able to calculate the dimensions of beams subject to simple and combined loadings. The theoretical portion of the course will be reduced as much as possible to leave plenty of time for applications. Students will first look at the strength of materials hypotheses, then the definition and determination of internal forces via the cohesion torsor. They will then examine the different simple loadings (tension-compression, shear force, torsion and simple flat bending), and finish with combined loadings.
Educational goals
At the end of the course, students will be able to apply the basic strength of materials concepts, study, analyse and calculate the dimensions of beams subject to simple and combined loadings. The theoretical portion of the course will be reduced as much as possible to leave plenty of time for applications. Students will first look at the strength of materials hypotheses, then the definition and determination of internal forces via the cohesion torsor. They will then examine the different simple loadings, and finish with combined loadings. At the end of this course, students will be able to: Model a simple mechanical system (beam modelling). Calculate the internal forces in each section of the beam and draw the corresponding loading diagrams. Calculate the movements and stresses for each of the simple loadings (tension/compression, shear force, torsion and simple flat bending). Calculate the dimensions of the beams under stress or being moved. Know the classic moments of inertia (rectangle and disk) Know how to calculate an equivalent stress according to Von Mises and Tresca in the case of combined loadings (normal + tangential stresses).
