Program Overview

SE1010 Solid Mechanics, Basic Course with Project

The course SE1010 Solid Mechanics, Basic Course with Project, is a 12.0 credit course that focuses on the basic principles and terminology of solid mechanics. It covers the mechanical behavior of engineering materials, methods to solve important types of solid mechanics problems, and the ability to apply this knowledge for the solution of simple problems of practical importance.

Course Contents

The course aims to provide students with knowledge about the basic principles and terminology of solid mechanics, including:

• Mechanical behavior of engineering materials
• Methods to solve important types of solid mechanics problems
• Ability to apply this knowledge for the solution of simple problems of practical importance

Intended Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, students should be able to:

• Determine stresses and deformations in truss structures, frames, and composites using models for rods and beams
• Determine stresses and deformations in axisymmetric structures
• Determine the loading applied on a crack
• Design structures mentioned above from knowledge of the applied loading and the mechanical behavior of the material
• Determine the applicability of the models above and also understand the order of the approximations included in the models
• Present, within the framework of a project work, the solution to a problem in solid mechanics summarized in a written report
