    Define forces that are affecting to bodies in static equilibrium
    Define internal forces and moments in bodies
    Analyze centers of gravity in bodies and structures
    Dimension structures that are stressed by normal-, shear, bending or torsion
    Dimension structures against buckling
    Design structures that are resistant to fatigue
    Course contents
    How can I manipulate forces with the basic laws of mechanics?
    What kind of forces affect to bodies that are in static equilibrium?
    How do the forces stress components internally?
    How do I form a free-body diagram?
    How do I dimension structures that are stressed with various type of loading
    Does the structure that I design withstand the forces that will be affecting to it?
    How to select correct material regarding the stresses in the structures?
    How to calculate stresses in structures?
    How to communicate in the future with correct terms with structural mechanics professionals.

    Planned learning activities and teaching methods

    Scheduled track:
    In lectures you will learn theory on the subject and do excercises, which are then collectively reviewed.

    Independent track:
    If you are working a company that is in the similar industry, you can make a a larger development project within your company, which is graded and replaces the excercises within the course. Additionally you have to take the tests in the course. Please contact the lecturer on the start of the course.

    Students use of time and load

    Active participation in teaching (2h/wk) and excercises done in home (2h/wk)

    Work placement(s)

    • “This course does not include RDI and work-related cooperation.”

    Exam schedule

    Exams to upgrade grading must be taken within one year from the end of the course. These exams are to be taken in predetermined days, which are given in the first lecture.
