Course objective :  Continues the course of Mechanics of Materials I and introduces the calculation of inelastic stresses in the beam cross section.
Prerequisites :  Courses of "Solid Mechanics" and "Mechanics of Materials I"
Workshops :  PRA-II-1: Statically indeterminate structures

PRA-II-2: Test (Statically indeterminate structures)

PRA-II-3: Influence lines


PRA-II-4: Trusses

PRA-II-5: Inelastic beams


PRA-II-6: Inelastic beams

+ a home work (4h)
Organization :  The course is based on courses of theory and exercises sessions.

  • The courses of theory are ex-cathedra courses. They are taught in English. Time for questions is allowed especially after each lesson or during pauses
  • The active participation of students is required during exercises sessions.
    These exercises sessions, in French, are devoted to the solution of problems
All sessions take place at Sart Tilman campus.
Written notes :  Exercises sessions, homework

Classbooks and reference books:

Book of "Mécanique des Matériaux" by Ch Massonnet and S. Cescotto
Classbooks in French (laboratory and exercises) are available by AEES
Assessment :  Written open questions

Examination mode

Home works
Intermediate test (in French): solution of problems
Written exam (in French): open questions of theory (1/2 hour) and solution of problems (2 hours)
Authorized tools during test and exam:
- theory : none
- problems : any book

Homework (4h00)

Subject: EP truss & EP bars in bending (énoncé fourni le 5/10; devoir à rendre pour le 26/10)
