Learning outcomes

The course aims at teaching the methods of calculation and structural analysis of the components of industrial products. The loading and constraint systems will be examined, both statically and dynamically. Traditional and finite elements methods (FEM) will be used for calculating the components with a strong connection to the subject of Industrial Design 3 course.

Course contents

The rigid bodies equilibrium: forces, moments and constraints.

External stresses on components: diagrams and maximum values.

Internal tensions within components: diagrams and maximum values.

Stiffness of mechanical components.

Static moments and moments of inertia into the beam cross sections.

Mechanical properties of materials.

Mechanical joints.

Endurance limit and fatigue failure of components.

Teaching methods

During the lectures the main problems associated with the design of structural components and their connections will be addressed. The practical lectures will be collective and dedicated to the real application of theoretical lessons learned in class by students.

Assessment methods

The assessment tests are written and, if elected, oral. The written part consists in three exercises to be solved in which both the conceptual and the numerical results will be evaluated. The oral test consists of an interview during which the mistakes made in the written test are analysed and some theoretical aspects are asked.
