With this curricular unit, one intends to transmit advanced fundamental knowledge in the context of the mechanical behavior of deformable bodies, as well as their implementation and processing in computational terms.
The apprehension and articulation of knowledge in the context of the elasticity theory and the knowledge in the structural analysis fields of common engineering systems/components, such as the thick-walled pressure vessels and other advanced topics in the study of plates, as well as the increasing trend on using composite materials, are relevant subjects in such a curricular unit.
Simultaneously, is considered of relevance in this context, an introduction to the dynamic behavior of elastic systems.
The successful conclusion of this curricular unit enables the student to understand and to anticipate the static and dynamic mechanical behavior of greater complexity deformable structures.
