CE14: Knowledge and use of the principles of the resistance of materials.
The subject of Introduction to the Strength of Materials provides the basic concepts, vocabulary and tools to understand how materials act when subjected to different types of efforts and moments. The concepts of static equilibrium are studied to determine the conditions of stability, normal, shear stresses, bending moments, torsions and deformations that act on a structural element. Solids are analyzed using simplified models that will later be used in the subjects of Elasticity and Strength of Materials, Materials Engineering, Machines and Mechanisms.
In general the student must be able to:
At the end of the course the student must be able to:
Classes are divided into theoretical and practical sessions.
The theoretical sessions alternate theoretical concepts with the realization of practical exercises. In a generic way, practical group exercises and individual exercises are done, so that students assimilate the main theoretical concepts.
The practical laboratory sessions delve into theoretical concepts. These practices are evaluable.
Students have all the information necessary to follow the teacher's explanations and the subject on the school's intranet, where they have theoretical notes of the concepts explained in class, as well as solved exercises so that the student can practice in a individual.
In a generic way, the contents of the subject can be grouped into the following topics:

- The presentation of theoretical concepts and the resolution of practical exercises will alternate in the classroom. In the lab students will work in groups of two or three students.
- Students will have the necessary documentation to follow the course.
- Students must dedicate the non-contact time to the study, the resolution of exercises, works and reports of practices, as well as to the preparation of the written tests.
The teacher reserves the right to evaluate or not evaluate the laboratory practices and/or the final work depending on the evolution and the acquisition of knowledge by the students during the course. In case of not evaluating the practices, the written tests (control + exam) will have a value of 100% on the final grade.
The evaluation will be continuous and will contemplate the proposals and mechanisms of recovery of the knowledge and competitions. All this within the period that comprises the matter.
To pass the course the final grade must be higher than 5 and have completed all the practices.
Failure to complete an internship without just cause will cause direct suspension of the subject.
