4 points + 22 lecture hours, 11 laboratory hours and 11 tutorial hours + Second semester + Clayton

Synopsis: Elastic stress analyses for round and prismatic bars (open and closed profiles) in torsion, combined bending and torsion, thick-walled cylinders, long and short beams, stress concentration, stress function and Castigliano0s Theorem. Elastic-plastic analyses for bending, torsion and thick-walled cylinders. The concept of residual stress and springback will be introduced.

Assessment: Examination (2 hours): 80% + Assignment and laboratory work: 20%
