8 cfu - I semester

Laurea in Architettura U.E. (II year)

The course offers a first introduction to the basic concepts of structural analysis. Topics coverage ranges from basic concepts of kinematics and dynamics to internal stresses in statically determined beams, basics of constitutive laws of materials, internal stresses and displacements in statically indeterminate elastic beams, primitive notions about structural design

Classes are based on the textbook Meccanica delle Strutture.

9 cfu - II semester

Laurea in Design (II year)

The course is articulated in two parts. The first part offers an introduction to the basic concepts of mechanics focused to the study of the structural aspects of industrial objects. In the second one students are engaged in the design, redesign or optimization of an industrial object taking as basic inspiration the fulfilment of mechanical requisites (weigth reduction, stability, strength, stiffness). Simulations of the mechanical behavior by means of finite element codes are used as main tool of design
