Solid Mechanics II
Objectives
The Solid Mechanics II course studies the behaviour of beams subject to pure bending or subject to transversal loadings, accounting for the stresses and strains these loadings produce. Topics such as the partial or total yielding of the beam cross section, the buckling of the beam due to axial loading or the application of energy methods are also covered.

Evaluation method
To be approved in the course, 2 group projects (TR1, TR2) and 2 tests (T1, T2) must be solved. There is also the possibility to go to a final exam (E).
The projects are mandatory to have access to the Exam and to be approved in the continuous evaluation. Each project has a weight of 15%.
To succeed continuous evaluation, (T1+T2)/2>=9,5.
In order to succeed evaluation trough exam, E>=9,5.
Final Grade (Continuous Evaluation) = 0,35 x (T1 + T2 ) + 0,15 x (TR1 + TR2 )
Final Grade (Exam) = 0,7 x E + 0,15 x (TR1 + TR2 )
