Aims :

The course is aimed at increasing the student knowledge of structural engineering, in adding to what have been learned in the basic courses of “Structural Engineering”, at introducing to advanced problems of mechanical engineering, and at providing adequate tools to study complex structural systems.

Topics :

Statically undetermined structures – Stability of structures – Curved beams – Advanced kinematics of the continuum – Advanced static of the continuum – Finite elasticity – Linear elasticity – Plane strain and plane stress problems – Anisotropic elastic bodies – Variational principles.
