Learning Outcomes

OB1: Know, understand and interpret the functional modes of simple mechanisms in order to develop schemes of calculation to translate with enough approximation to the actual loads of a given structural component or a component of a machine, allowing to apply techniques and appropriate tools to the definition and calculation of internal forces in a component of a machine or a structure;

OB2: Know and understand the properties and behavior of the most common materials in mechanical engineering;

OB3: Apply the techniques and appropriate tools to the definition, calculation and mathematical treatment of stress states, in order to find the critical points of a component of a machine or structure;

OB4: Design or verify structural elements or machine parts, using the yield and rigidity criteria more suitable and critically interpreting the obtained results.
