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.
