| Contents | Rigid body. Beams and systems of beams with straight axis and curved-axis. -cinematic behaviour, - - static behaviour -equilibrium equations -diagrams of the axial force, shear force and bending moment. Truss beams. Principe of virtual work for rigid body. |
| Reference texts | Main book:“Statica –Fondamenti di meccanica strutturale” E. Guarenti, F. Buccino, E. Garavaglia, G. Novati, - Mac Graw Hill. Other suggested books: “Lezioni di Scienza delle Costruzioni”, G. Menditto, - Pitagora “Esercitazioni di Scienza delle Costruzioni”, E. Viola – Pitagora – vol.1 |
| Educational objectives | The main objective is to give students the basis for dealing with the study the structural systems which consist of straight axis beams, in static equilibrium. The student will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge for the resolution of isostatic structures. The main skill will be the analysis of kinematic and static behavior of one-dimensional systems, the determination of the internal forces (axial force, shear force, and bending moment). |
| Prerequisites | The knowledge acquired at Analysis I, Physics and Geometry courses is necessary. |
| Teaching methods | Theoretical and practical lectures. Classroom exercises are planned so that students can check the level of learning they have achieved. |
| Learning verification modality | A written exam concerning the resolution of an isostatic structure (in the time of 2 hours) and a subsequent oral test on all the topics covered in the course. It is necessary to reach the vote of 18/30 for admission to the oral test. The completeness of the answer, the argumentative rigor and the ownership of language will be assessed. |
| Extended program | Rigid body. Finite and infinitesimal rigid displacements. Beams and systems of beams with straight axis: -types of support -types of loads -statically determinate beams: linear axis beams and curved beams -cinematic behaviour, static behaviour -equilibrium equations -diagrams of the axial force, shear force and bending moment |
