Scienza delle Costruzioni (Structural mechanics)


Please visit the official webpage of the course for the academic year 2018-2019 (see also Aulaweb).
Find a summary of students' level of satisfaction here (last academic year)

Summary


The lessons (60 hours) introduce the basic principles and methodological aspects of theoretical and applied mechanics, adopting the tools of physical-mathematical modeling. The linear formulations for statics, kinematics and elasticity of solids (Cauchy continuum, Saint-Venant's problem) and structures (Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories), constituting the basis of structural design, are introduced. The issue of structural stability is also outlined. The student develops the engineering confidence and the operational skills to deal with elastic problems of increasing difficulty.

Summary


The course illustrates the deep conceptual relationships connecting the principles of structural mechanics and the forms in architecture, with focus on the traditional and innovative solutions that allow their critical interpretation and conscious government. The theoretical lessons and the design laboratory activities are aimed at developing the mature interpretative sensitivity and methodological skills necessary for understanding, evaluating and optimizing the symbiotic sinergy between aesthetic appeal, functional performance and structural efficiency in the contemporary architectural and engineering design.

Summary


The course in organized in modules. The modulus offered by Marco (30 hours) introduces the fundamentals of structural dynamics, with focus on the basic principles of free and forced vibrations of linear systems. The equations of motions governing the dynamic response of the linear damped oscillator are presented. The traditional approach of classical modal analysis is illustrated for multi-degrees-of-freedom systems. The student develops the operational skills required treat the dynamic problems connected to the engineering design for building retrofitting. Complementary issues related to elasto-plastic and isolated oscillators are also outlined.
