Course description and aims

In this course, the instructor will introduce the relationship between stress and strain in an elastic body, the two-dimensional theory of elasticity, applications to problems of rod-torsion and plate-bending, handling of anisotropic materials, approaches to elastic-plastic problems, the bending and torsion of elastic-plastic materials, and applications to a thick-walled cylinder.
Students will learn a method for analytically dealing with the elastic deformation and elastic-plastic deformation of homogeneous isotropic materials (typified by metal materials) and anisotropic materials (typified by fiber reinforced plastics).

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Gain knowledge of basic concepts and analytically approach the strength and deformation of machines and structures.
2) Deal with elastic deformation problems for homogeneous isotropic materials and anisotropic materials which are the basis of mechanical design.
3) Also mechanically handle the transition to plastic deformation from elastic deformation.

Keywords

Two-dimensional problems in elasticity, Equilibrium Equations for Stresses, Compatibility Condition of Strain, Hooke's Law, Stress Function, Elastic-plastic problems, Composite Materials

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
