Review of shear force and bending moment diagrams. Force systems. Pure bending of elastic beams; composite beams, unsymmetrical sections. Shearing stresses in beams; shear flow, shear centre. Analysis of plane stress and plane strain; Hookes law, stress transformations, Mohrs circle. Torsion for circular sections. Compound stresses. Bending deflection; double integration, moment area methods. Column behaviour, Euler load, secant formula, short and long columns, slenderness ratio, effective length. Introduction to theories of failure.
Learning Outcomes
- solve problems in solid static analysis for axial, bending, and torsional loadings;
- solve problems in solid static design for simply supported beams and columns subjected to a variety of loadings;
- understand and define the basic concepts, properties and variables in solid static mechanics;
- understand the derivations of the equations and techniques commonly used in engineering statics analysis;
- understand the simplifications and assumptions of the equations and techniques commonly used in engineering statics analysis.
