Lernergebnisse der Lehrveranstaltung

Derzeit nur in Englisch verfügbar
After successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Understand fundamental principles of strength of materials, including stress, strain, Hooke’s law, and the relationship between internal forces and deformations in structural components.

Classify and calculate stresses in tension, compression, shear, bending, and torsion for prismatic members and other simple geometries, applying equilibrium, compatibility, and material constitutive laws.

Determine strain and displacement distributions in bars, shafts, and beams using analytical methods such as stress–strain relations, integration of bending equations, and torsion formulas.

Evaluate combined loadings by superposition of axial, bending, shear, and torsional stresses, and construct Mohr’s circle to analyze principal stresses and maximum shear stresses.

Apply energy methods to compute deflections and assess load paths in statically determinate and simple indeterminate systems.

Recognize the limitations of analytical approaches and appreciate the role of experimental testing, finite-element analysis, and safety factors in professional practice.

This course equips students with essential competencies for analyzing and designing machine elements, structures, and components, serving as a foundation for advanced subjects in mechanical and civil engineering.
