The course requires the knowledge of the topics of Analisi Matematica A (Calculus A), Fisica Matematica (Rational Mechanics) and Geometria and Algebra (Linear Algebra). Moreover, basic notions from the course of Fondamenti di Informatica (Basics of Informatics) are useful.

The goal of this module of the course is to provide the students with the basic and general ideas to tackle complex structural systems. The two fundamental steps are a first phase of construction of the system model (with a particular focus on beam models) and a second more practical phase aiming at the determination of the static equilibrium, as well as of the stress and strain state.

1. Rigid body systems
Introduction, definitions and static equilibrium equations. Constraints. Kinematic analysis. Static analysis. Geometric and static determination. Static indetermination and mechanisms. Analytical and graphical solution methods. Computation of reaction forces. Modeling of complex structural systems and their reduction to simple statically determined schemes.
2. Stress state analysis
Truss systems. Beams. Generalized stress diagrams for beams and frames.
3. Statically indeterminate systems
Bernoulli-Euler deformable beams. Methods for the determination of the stress and deformation states. Continuous beams. Use of Mohr's analogy for the deformation and reaction force determination.
4. Multiply statically indeterminate systems
Displacement approach. Matrix form of the problem.
5. Potential further topics
Timoshenko deformable beams.
