Strength of materials - beams

The aim of this course is to present the behavior laws that model the deformations of a material as a function of the stresses it undergoes. These laws depend on the nature of the material and the type of mechanical stress to which it is subjected. In this course, we will consider homogeneous and isotropic materials, whose behavior is linear elastic and subject to small perturbations (HPP).

A course in the mechanics of indeformable solids.

Two approaches are presented:
The theory of elasticity enables precise modeling, but requires calculations that are often complex.
The resistance of materials (RDM) is an indispensable tool for the mechanical engineer. It provides an approximate but correct solution. It enables rapid calculations to be made for dimensioning a large number of practical situations. It has the advantage of being very simple to use, and can be used as a first approach to structural design. It will often have to be supplemented by tests and sometimes by more elaborate calculations, using finite element calculations for example.
