Resistência de Materiais I

1. Understand the fundamental concepts of Strength of Materials and of the theory of bars (axial force and bending moment), identifying the underlying simplifying assumptions.

2. Calculate and draw stress resultant diagrams of straight bars (3D) and cables (2D).

3. Analyse and calculate stress and strain states of straight bars under axial force and bending moment.

4. Analyse and calculate displacements/strains/stresses in statically determinate/indeterminate (1st degree) reticulated structures composed of elastic materials (or, for axial force, of elastoplastic materials).

5. Apply the acquired knowledge, integrated with the knowledge obtained in Statics, Continuum Mechanics and Rigid Body Dynamics, to solve simple practical problems of Civil Engineering, analysing/evaluating the results and formulating alternative solutions.
