Torsion

This course explores the analysis and design of thin-walled pressure vessels and engineering structures subjected to torsion.

Les structures mécaniques qui nous entourent (automobile, avion, ponts…), se déforment sous l’effet de chargements extérieurs. Le rôle du concepteur est de faire en sorte que ces déformations ne nuisent pas au bon fonctionnement des structures.

An introductory course on statics and on the mechanical behavior of deformable structural elements like beams, shafts and rods. 2.01x introduces principles of structural analysis and strength of materials in applications to three essential types of load-bearing elements: bars in axial loading, axisymmetric shafts in torsion, and symmetric beams [...]
