IMEC-1520 Deformed Solids Mechanics

One of the most common problems an engineer is faced with is to decide proportions, shape and materials to be used in a machine or structure, which must support external loads during a certain lifecycle, with no evidence of excessive wear, deformation or fractures.  Hence, the purpose of this course is to provide the structural design fundamentals, based on a unified treatment of the mechanics applied and the materials science. As such, the Deformed Solids Mechanics study can be summarized in the knowledge of the following aspects: · Analysis of induced stress and deformation in a loaded body, which may be studied through the use of balance methods (laws of force), the force-deformation ratios (unitary stress-deformation) and the geometrical deformation compatibility conditions (each deformed portion in a body must adjust to other adjacent bodies). ·         Determination, through analysis or tests, of the highest load that a mechanical structure or element can hold with no damages or failures caused, or without jeopardizing the function for which it was selected. ·         Determination of body shape and selection of the most appropriate, efficient materials to withstand a certain force system, under specific operating environmental conditions (design function). The growing demand of more and more sophisticated structures and machinery components obliges engineers to have a clear understanding of stress, deformation and material property components. Hence, the course must offer students ideas and information needed to understand the basic concepts of deformable body mechanics and, therefore, promote the creative design process. Furthermore, students must develop imitation and / or algorithm application skills in the solution of mathematical models applied to the calculation of mechanical elements and to the analysis and synthesis (division of material stress and deformation problems, including movement restriction and proposal of global solutions).

The scientific research is derived from a question or problem that has not been studied before, or the response of which is not satisfactory yet. A research is far more than a simple search for information, it is the consequence of the systematic application of the scientific method, with the final purpose of contributing to the solution of problems that affect society. A research requires goals, planning, hypotheses, critical assumptions and information generation and interpretation. The general purpose of this course is to provide students the tools for the sound exercise of research, within the framework of the scientific method. The articulation of these tools by students will be evaluated based on the research proposal and its defense before a panel of evaluators.
