Structural Mechanics


Credits: 9
Content language:Italian
Course description
Structural mechanics is that discipline that deals with the physical-mathematical models and experimental studies that describe the static and the dynamic behavior of structures and their components (structural elements) under the effect of various actions (external forces, temperature variations, earthquakes etc.).
Prerequisites
To pass the exam of Structural mechanics it is necessary also to pass the exam of statics and dynamics of mechanical systems.
Objectives
The overriding purpose of the course of structural mechanics is to develop a mindset that will lead to operational recognize, formulate and solve structural problems.
