VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Anda teadmised tugevusarvutuste põhimõtetest, materjalide mehaanilistest omadustest, varda sisejõududest ja pingeväljadest, surutud posti stabiilsusest, mida hiljem saab kasutada erialaste ülesannete lahendamisel. Selgitatakse lihtsamate tala- ja raamkonstruktsioonide kandevõime hindamist ning lihtsustatud arvutusmetoodikad. Tugevuslaboris jälgitakse materjalide käitumist suurtel koormustel ning moonete mõõtmisi.
course aims in English
Course aims to provide basic knowledge about strength analysis, mechanical properties of materials, internal forces and stress fields of the bar, buckling of a compressed column, that can be used in solving professional tasks. The load-bearing capacity assessment of simpler beam and frame structures and simplified calculation methodologies are explained. In the laboratory of strength students will learn about material properties at high loads and as well as strain measurements
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Aine läbimisel üliõpilane omandab järgmised konkreetsed oskused:
- omandab põhiarusaamad staatika seadustest, tugevusõpetuse eeldustest, materjali mudelitest, arvutusskeemidest ja nende rakendatavuse piiridest;
- arvutab lihtsama varrassüsteemi toereaktsioone, sisejõude, määrab pinged varda ristlõikes ning hindab konstruktsiooni tugevus.
- arvutab tala siirdeid ja surutud posti nõtkumise ohtu;
- seostab tugevusõpetuse alusteadmised ehituse valdkonna nähtuste kirjeldamisel, analüüsil ning lahendamisel.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After the completion of the course, the student:
- understands the lows of statics, assumptions of strength analysis, material models, calculation schemes and limits of their applicability;
- calculates support reactions of a simple bar system, determines internal forces and stresses in the cross-section of the rod and evaluates its strength;
- calculates deflections of the beam and assesses risk of buckling of compressed column;
- links the basic concepts of mechanics of materials with the relevant phenomena in the field of civil engineering.
brief description of the course in Estonian
Staatika. Toereaktsioonide arvutus. Tugevusõpetuse põhieeldused. Materjali mudel. Hooke seadus. Arvutusskeemi mõiste. Sisejõud ja pinge. Sisejõuepüürid. Pingeväljad varda ristlõikes. Tugevusarvutused. Koormatud tala deformatsioonid ja siirded. Surutud posti stabiilsus. Sisejõudude arvutus lihtsamates varraskonstruktsioonides: sõrestik ja raam.
brief description of the course in English
Basic considerations of the mechanics of materials. Structure types. Internal forces and stresses. Strength analysis. Deformations and deflections of loaded bars. Buckling of the column. Frames and trusses.
type of assessment in Estonian
Hindamine toimub ja lõpphinne kujuneb eksami tulemuste põhjal.
Eksamile pääsemise eelduseks on kodutööde arvestus.
Eksami sooritamine toimub väiksemas mahus, kui kontrolltöödega on ületatud seatud lävend.
type of assessment in English
A student's grade is calculated based on final exam. Homeworks should be passed to participate in the final examination. Final examination is lesser extent if a set threshold is exceeded with mid-term exams.
independent study in Estonian
Kodutööde tegemine. Iseseisev tutvumine teooriaga.
independent study in English
Individual preparation of home works. Individual familiarization with theory.
