Eligibility
General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
The same as for the programme that owns the course.Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Course specific prerequisites
The courses MVE575 Calculus, MVE570 Linear algebra and differential equations and LMT207 Mechanics, or equivalent knowledge.Aim
The aim of the course is that the students are to attain knowledge of the basic principles and concepts of strength of materials, which is required for calculations of stresses and deformations in different mechanical components.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Describe the basic concepts and laws of strength of materials. Apply these laws and concepts in solving problems.
- analyze bending of beams and making use of the beam equation.
- describe the concept of buckling and stability.
Content
The course covers the basic topics of strength of materials:
- Tension and compression.
- Shear and torsion.
- Bending of beams.
- Elastic stability.
Organisation
The course includes 21 lectures and 14 tutorials.Literature
