Università Roma Tre

The course illustrates elements of the mechanics of rigid bodies and beams, applied to simple iso-static and hyper-static bi-dimensional systems. Main topics are: cinematic of rigid bodies and the notion of perfect constraints; the distributions, equivalence and reduction of force systems; the equilibrium equations and methods for calculating constraint reactions; the model of the linear kinematic beams; contact actions; formulations à la Navier; the resolution of simple iso-static and hyper-static systems
