Course Description Brief description of the topics The purpose of the course is to introduce aeronautical engineering students to Structural Mechanics. In the first part, the focus is set on equilibrium of structural systems. Beams are the main object of the analysis, but the generality of the discussed concepts (e.g. for continuum models) is constantly underlined. Basic concepts of solid mechanics are discussed: stresses, strain and constitutive laws. The general problem of thermo-elasticity is formulated and analytically solved in the case of the De Saint Venant solid, as an example of analytical solution. Elastic deformability of structural systems is analyzed and some approaches to solve statically undetermined, plane and spatial, problems are presented in conceptual and operative terms. The Virtual Work Principle (VWP) and the elasticity theorems are introduced. The VWP is applied to the solution of simple, elastic, plane and spatial frames. A special attention is given to the total potential energy theorem and its numerical importance. Beyond the linear elasticity limits, the third part of the course describes basic concepts on instability of elastic structures and strength criteria, introducing the bases of the classic plasticity
