In demanding and exceptionally demanding structural design:
The student is able to apply
- basic laws of mechanics
- the relation between the actual structure and the support conditions
- Hooks’ law
The student is able to take into account
- Euler's buckling theory and is able to connect structures to Euler's buckling theory
- that the eccentricity of the load can cause a significant additional load
- the eccentricity of the actual structure and is able to build a free-form pattern from it and to solve the additional stresses caused by the eccentricity
The student is able to calculate and examine
- manually and with FEM programs to check the internal stresses of the more common structural models
- the internal forces and bending of truss and perimeter structures
- bending, shear, tensile and compressive stresses and deformations of structural members
The student is able to identify
- eccentricity
