Teaching methods

Mostly classroom lectures and exercises, using blackboard.

Some slides presentations for the part of solid mechanics.

A lesson will be devoted to practical activity in laboratory for the part of the material mechanics.

Assessment methods

The exam does not refer to the teaching module, but to the integrated course of Mechanics of solids and structures T.

The exam consists in a single session and includes one written exercise (solution of a structure or study of a section) and questions on every part of the theory and its applications.

Teaching tools

Guided exercises, with the collaboration of the teaching tutor.
