Mechanics of Materials II

Applied Mechanics and Strength of Materials I

In Theoretical-Practical classes, the expository and inquisitive methods are used. During the explanation of theoretical issues, students proceed with the resolution of exercises. In Tutorial classes, individual learning skills and teamwork are explored by clarifying theoretical doubts and following up on the various assignments-works.

Goals

Provide the fundamentals of the mechanical behavior of deformable solids. To study the behavior of solids when subjected to different loading states, interpreting and calculating the specific stresses and deformations produced by the loads. Derive formulas and equations that allow to predict the mechanical behavior of the materials. Provide methodologies for analysis of stresses and deformations in linear parts subject to axial stress and bending. To develop the fundamental concepts of design and verification of the safety of structures subject to different internal forces.

Assessment by final written exam quoted to 20 points (with consultation of the form provided in the test and 1 A4 page written by the student, only with the form, which will be delivered together with the test); Students with a minimum classification of 9.5 will be approved. Students can choose to carry out an interim assessment in the middle of the semester (quoted for 10 points), with the assessment of the complementary component (10 points) carried out on the day of the regular exam. Students who pass the test will only perform the complementary component; the remaining students will be subjected to taking the full exam for 20 points.

Erasmus students who do not speak Portuguese or Spanish will be assessed in the continuous assessment components (objectives and conditions defined by the teacher) and the final exam, both in English. A written or oral exam is foreseen for students who request special exams.
