Università Roma Tre

To provide knowledge of the rudiments of mechanics for rigid body and the beam models, with application to simple cases of isostatic and hyperstatic systems articulated in two dimensions. Course topics are in particular: introduction of rigid body kinematics and concepts of constraints; distributions, equivalence and reduction of systems of forces; the balance equations and the methods of calculations of reaction forces; the beam model kinematics linea rizzata; the contact actions; the balance equations; the Navier formula; the resolution of simple isostatic and hyperstatic systems.
