Main themes
The objective of this course is to show how the theory of isotropic linear elasticity enables to solve a large class of problems stemming from the design of structures and equipments. Although the majority of industrial problems are solved nowadays with numerical software, it is essential that the student first learns how to solve analytically a number of simple problems and understands their physics. This is why the course will develop solutions related to bending, torsion, thermal stresses, buckling, etc. The theory of beams, commonly known as strength of materials, is a simplified theory which represents a very important particular case. Some methods for computing statically determinate or indeterminate beam structures are presented and several examples are studied.
