| Abstract | Basic theories for structure integrity calculations are presented with focus on strength, stability, fatigue and elasto-plastic structural analysis. Theories and models for one dimesional and planar structures are presented based on energy theorems. |
| Learning objective | Basic principles applied in structural mechanics. Introduction to the theories of planar structures. Development of an understanding of the relationship between material properties, structural theories and design criteria. |
| Content | 1. Basic problem of continuum mechanics and energy principles: structural theories, homogenization theories; finite elements; fracture mechanics. 2.Structural theories for planar structures and stability: plane-stress, plate theory, buckling of plates (non-linear plate theory). 3.Strength of material theories and material properties: ductile behaviour, plasticity, von Mises, Tresca, principal stress criterion; brittle behaviour; viscoplastic behaviour, creep resistance. 4. Structural design: fatigue and dynamic structural analysis. |
