Structural mechanics for SV
Summary
This course aims to provide a concise understanding of how materials and structures react to loads. It covers the basics of stress and strain in multi dimensions, deformation and failure criteria. The course is tailored to problems students from life science might encounter.
Content
- review of equilibrium ridged body mechanics
- strain & stress in one dimension
- strain & stress in higher dimensions
- stress concentrations
- torsion
- transformation of stress and strain
- stress and strain in beams (shear and bending moments)
- beam bending
- buckling
