Mechanics II (GES)

Term: Summer Semester
Lecturer

Prof. Dr. Radoslaw Iwankliewicz

 

Content of the Course

Normal and shear stress and strain, average normal and shear stress.
Axial loading: elastic deformation and statically indeterminate problems. Area moments of inertia.
Torsion of a circular shaft: shear strain and stress, the angle of twist.
Bending: pure and symmetric bending, deflection of beams, statically indeterminate beams, un-symmetric bending.
Bending with a transverse shear: shear stresses  and  shear center. Plane-stress  transformation. Stability of equilibrium and buckling of elastic columns.
Elastic strain energy and energy methods: Castigliano’s  theorem and  statically indeterminate problems. *Membrane theory of rotational shells: thin-walled pressure vessels.*(additional topic for private study).
