The main objective of the class is to introduce students to the concepts of experimental diagnostics of structures, in the context of elastic and plastic behavior of materials. This primarily involves modern experimental methods for deformation measuring. Emphasis is placed on the processing of extensometer and optical methods (digital image correlation method) using modern electronics and optics.
The student has mastered the techniques of experimental diagnostics of structures. He is able to conduct stress and strain analysis for complex multi-component stresses and to apply it to the assessment of the load-bearing capacity of simple structures.
Stress analysis. Principal stresses and principal planes. Deformation analysis. Problem solving strategies and practical determination of stress distribution. Energy principles. Theoretical assumptions of the displacement method. Basic assumptions of the finite element method. Development and importance of experimental methods in structural diagnostics. Brief overview of existing measurement methods. Extensometers. Electrical resistance strain gauges. Optical measurement methods. Electrical resistance strain gauges – basic concepts. Types of strain gauges. Selection of strain gauges and their characteristics. Effect of temperature – temperature compensation. Continuous measurement of the deformation field using digital image correlation method.
Determination of principal stresses and their directions for a known stress state at a point. Determination of extreme values of shear stress in an arbitrarily stressed body. Examples of solving structural problems using displacement method. Practical application of experimental methods of displacement and deformation measuring on models of simple structures in laboratory conditions.
Without listening requirements and restrictions.
