Structural Mechanics
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course includes:
Definitions and concepts: stiffness, virtual work, the displacement method, geometric transformation matrices, complementary and particular solutions to problems of frames, work equations, limit load analysis, mechanisms, thermal load, underground connection, natural oscillation of beams, structural instability (lateral buckling of frames).
The course includes some lectures, but to the largest extent it is organized around the students' own work with opportunities of scheduled supervision and seminars.
