Aims :

The course aims to the essential knoweledges in Solid Mechanics, applied to the elastic behavior of low-hyperstatic plane frames.

Topics :

Rods kinematics: kinematical descriptors, deformations measures, compatibility equations. Kirchhoff's rod. Constitutive relations: linearly elastic rods. Virtual works, energetics and variational formulations. Minimum principles.
Hyperstatic plane frames; the Müller-Breslau equations as a consequence of Complementary nergy minimum principle. Tridimensional linear elasticity. Kinematics: displacement and strain. The infinitesimal strain tensor. Statics: the notion of stress. Cauchy's theorem. Virtula works for defromable systems. Linear isotropic materials. The Saint-Venant's problem for isotropic solids. The Clebsch's solution. Yield criteria . Stability of Euler beams.

Exam :

The final test consists of a written test and an oral colloquia. The written test requires the study of a simple hyperstatic plane frame

Tutorial Session :

The hour which follows class hours is reserved to colloquia with students. E-mail questions are welcome.
