Strength of materials PW - KAGG6M10

Goal(s)

• Enter, verify and evaluate the results of a complex structure using software;
• Measure the influence of the degree of hyperstaticity on the general behaviour of a structure (node displacements, stresses, and support reactions);
• Understand the role of bracing.
• Material resistance: calculation of stresses on isostatic structures
