COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Objectives

The main objective is to develop the capacity to apply the theory and the methodology of the mechanics of solids to design and produce a variety of objects and structures by both assessment of the intensity of internal forces and deformations acting within the body and understanding of the mechanical characteristics of the material used to make the objects, addressing the mechanical concerns such as strength, stiffness, stability. In addition, some topics on intellectual property are introduced.
