Syllabus

  • 1.Basic principles, conceptions and assumptions of the theory of elasticity and plasticity (the material strength). Material laws, working diagrams. The relation between internal forces and the stresses.
  • 2. Simple tension – stress and strain state. More general cases of the tension (compression).
  • 3. Statically indeterminate cases. The influence of the initial stress and the temperature field.
  • 4. Simple shear, the connections strained by shearing.
  • 5. Simple bending. Normal stresses produced by bending. Design and check of bent girders.
  • 6. The differential equation of the deformation line. The integration of the differential thrust equation. The method of initial parameters, Mohr’s method.
  • 7. Shearing stresses in a bent beam. The centre of the shear. Shearing stress in the thin-walled girders. The effect of the shear on the deflection of the beam.
  • 8. Free torsion of a massive and thin-walled cross-section beams(opened and closed).
  • 9. Complex cases of the load of the beam. Spatial and biaxial bending. Tension (compression) and uniaxial bending.
  • 10. Eccentric tension and compression. The calculation of the position of the neutral axis, the core of the section. Design of the girders in a case of the complex load.
  • 11. Buckling strengths and the stability of the compressed bars. Euler’s solution. Critical force and critical stress. The influence of the boundary conditions.
  • 12. The strength approach to stability. A bar loaded by a bending and buckling load. The check of the buckling bars.
  • 13. The stress and strain state in a point of the body. The principal stress at the plane stress problem.
