Recommended semester: 1

Study mode: full-time

Prerequisites:

Evaluation type: term mark

Course category: compulsory

Language: english

Responsible instructor: Dr. Katula Levente Tamás

Instructor(s): Papp Klaudia

Course objectives:
Acquisition of basic engineering concepts, skills and competences in the fields of checking, dimensioning and load calculations of supporting structures, determination of deformation of supporting structures and determination of stresses on statically indeterminate supports. The aim of the course is to introduce the theoretical concepts, to illustrate them with examples close to the practice of mechanical engineering and to develop appropriate practice in solving problems.

Course content - lectures:

Basic statics concepts. Equivalent force systems. Reduction of a force system. Equilibrium of 3 forces. Decomposition of force into three components with given lines of action. Resultant of a planar force system. Resultant of a parallel system of forces distributed along a line. Equilibrium force system. Support forces. Methods of supporting a rigid body. Calculation of supporting force system for simple structures. Calculation of supporting force and internal forces in complex structures. Planar lattice structure, calculation of internal forces. Static concepts of spatial force systems. Resultant of spatial force system. Supporting forces in spatial supports. Stresses on rods. Loading diagrams. Determination of centre of gravity. Second order moments. Cross sectional characteristics.
