The objective of the course is to show analytically -in simple cases- and numerically how to model and solve an important class of
so-called planar structures, i.e. such that their mechanical problem is reduced to two space dimensions.
--
The problems involve " long " solids under plane strain, " thin " solids under plane stress and thin or thick plates under bending loads.
--
For each class of problems, appropriate formulations will be developed, together with their finite element discretization, in view of
their numerical resolution using a specialized software.
Some rather simple problems will also be solved analytically in order to better understand the theory.
