Topics
Stress and strain tensors
Main lesson
Stress invariants
Use this for “The stress tensor is [[50, 20, 10], [20, −10, 10], [10, 10, 30]] MPa. Find I₁, I₂ and I₃.”
Octahedral stresses
Use this for “The principal stresses are 65, 15 and −30 MPa. Find the octahedral normal and shear stresses.”
Strain rosette
Use this for “A 45° rosette reads εₐ = 600 με, εb = 300 με and εc = −200 με. Find γₓᵧ and the principal strains.”
Generalized Hooke's law
Energy methods
Main lesson
Truss joint deflection by the unit-load method
Use this for “A triangular truss spans 8 m with a 3 m rise and carries 10 kN at the apex. With A = 1000 mm² and E = 200 GPa, how far does the apex drop?”
Impact of a dropped weight on a bar
Use this for “A 100 N weight drops 50 mm onto the collar of a 1 m steel bar of 100 mm². What are the peak stretch and stress?”
Plasticity and failure criteria
Plates and shells
