Skills


Basic skills
  • B5_That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy

     

Specific skills
  • Apply the fundamentals of the elasticity and strength of materials to the behavior of real solids

Transversal competences
  • T2_That students have the ability to work as members of an interdisciplinary team either as one more member, or performing management tasks, in order to contribute to developing projects with pragmatism and a sense of responsibility, making commitments taking into account available resources

     

Description


The course aims for students to understand the internal state of real solids subjected to external loads which is determined by the state of stress and the state of deformation.

In static cases of isotropic materials, geometries and simple external loads, students will learn to use simplified solutions of the equations that relate the loads to the state of the solid assuming that before applying the external loads the internal stress was zero to everywhere.

In complex cases, students will understand how the finite element method can be used to obtain an approximate solution to the problem.

Once the stress and strain states have been determined, students will learn to use the failure and fatigue criteria to determine if the solid is capable of withstanding external loads and will also learn to obtain the displacements to verify that the final shape of solid it still meets the dimensions needed to function.

Students will understand the implications of the dynamic problems of vibration, elastic waves and viscoelasticity.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Learning activities


Face-to-face classes in the classroom (large group): the theoretical subject will be developed and examples, problems and practical cases will be carried out.

The learning method will be based on problem solving by students, interpreting the result.

Practical classes (small groups): using laboratory equipment, by simulation or by carrying out work, practical cases will be carried out.

Attendance at all learning activities is compulsory.

Evaluation system


There will be a final exam, continuous assessment tests and practical work.

The grade of the course will be calculated with 0,3 Grade of practical work + 0,7 Maximum (continuous assessment grade, final exam grade)

An extraordinary resit exam for the final exam will be held
