Mechanics of MaterialsLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

After completing the course the students will know, how the mechanical properties affect the behaviour of materials. They will comprehend the stresses induced on structures by different kinds of mechanical loading. They will understand fully, which material properties are the most essential for withstanding different types of mechanical loads.

The students will be able to avaluate the mechanical performance of materials and structures in straightforward loadings.

Content

Types of mechanical loading and stresses induced by them. Relationship between stress and strain. Strength, toughness, elasticity, hardness, impact strength. Creep, safety factors, flexural buckling, notch effect.

Determination of moment of inertia, drawing of diagrams of bending moments, determination of deflection under bending load, stress and strain states.
