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
Evaluation:
a) Continuous
Two group projects (TR1 - experimental and TR2 - computational) and two tests in campus* (T1, T2).
Final grade = 0,375xT1 + 0,375xT2 + 0,125xTR1 + 0,125xTR2 >= 9,5 and point b) below must be verified.
b) Access to continuous evaluation and/or final exam
It''s mandatory that the student works on and submits the two group projects (TR1, TR2).
c) Exam (in campus*)
Final grade = 0,75xE + 0,125xTR1 + 0,125xTR2 >=9,5 and E>=9,5 and point b) above must be verified.
The score in TR1 and TR2 in this formula is that one obtained during the continuous evaluation period. Any increase on this score is not allowed during the exam period.
* It depends on how the pandemics will evolve and guidelines we will receive from the part of the school.
