MASSIMO CUOMO

Learning Objectives

The course aims to teach to the students the basic concepts of the mechanics of materials and of the mechanics of soids, with special attention to the behaviour of mevhanical structures. Main topics of the course are the principles of equilibrium, the mechanics of deformable continua, the theory of elasticity, the analysis and design of the performance of structural elements respect to resistance and deformation. The topics of the course are typically those covered in the courses of Statics and Strength of Materials.


Course Structure

The couse is subdivised in four parts:

The first part: analysis of the discrete structural systems.

The second part: Analysis of the stress and strain for a Cahuchy continua.

The third part: Linear-elastic constitutive behaviour.

The fourth part: Position of De Saint Venant problem.

 

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.


Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.
