Contents

The resultant of forces and moments, equilibrium equations, the center of mass, friction, free-body-diagrams, energy considerations, normal and shear stresses in beams, torsion of profiles with closed cross sections, combined load effects, deflection of beams.

 

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures and exercises. Exercises will be given, and there will be skilled personnel present in the hours allocated for practical exercises.

Examination requirements

Satisfactory submission of compulsory exercises.

Examinations

The examination is divided into two mandatory parts with graded assessement:

  • A individual written exam (4 hours) that counts 65% of the final grade;
  • A group project that counts 35% of the final grade.

Student evaluation

The person responsible for the course, in consultation with the student representative, decides the method of evaluation and whether the courses will have a midterm- or end of term evaluation, see also the Quality System, section 4.1. Information about evaluation method for the course will be posted on Canvas.

Offered as a free-standing course

Yes. Subject to availability or capacity.
