    Comparison of two courses content:  this course at Aalto and equivalent course at Technische Universität Darmstat



    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    weekly: two SUCCESSIVE LECTURES followed by two successive exercise cessions.

    Weekly teaching sequence is  LLEE, (L = Lectures &  E = Guided Exercises and HW).
    However, depending on force-majeure situations and of our progress in going through the lecture material, this sequence can evolve. For example an other possible combination can be LLLE.

    About the course supporting Material

    •  In addition to the pointed chapters from the course textbooks for each topic, I will provide an additional learning/reading supporting material together with weekly homework series (3-6 exercises/week. Each exercise is marked (arvosana) 0-5 if not otherwise stated in the homework-paper).

    •  The Lecturer's written material is not a collection of lecture-slides but it is a pedagogical material offered to help and motivate students in their reading the chosen subject from the course textbooks & elsewhere.

     Lecture slides cannot capture the dynamics of the in-vivo lecture nor the content of a good textbook..

    •  The topics treated in this intensive course cannot be avoided by future structural engineers: these topics will wait for them hidden, inside the FE-software you will use to perform structural analysis, in the black-boxes called material models.  This course is may be the right place for first meeting them in a friendly learning environment and opening these black-boxes ...

    As an illustration of how useful can be the knowledge of particular material behavior law, below is shown a fresh research example. The question was to find the basic mechanisms involved in the formation of a global  primary early  crack pattern which are observed on the surface of wood and wood-like specimens (MDF) resulting from surface heating.

    In this journal publication, for the first time, the driving thermo-mechanical mechanisms behind such organization of patterns were identified.  It was shown that, on the contrary of what was believed till now, they do not result from shrinkage for temperatures below the pyrolysis temperature. If shrinkage was the driving mechanisms during initial surface heating then the cracks would form parallel to the fibers - the weakest direction for strength -  in the orthotropic natural wood sample (subfigures on right).  However during the experiments the cracks form orthogonally to the strongest strength direction (perpendicular to fibers) at the same time not sequentially.

    Above pyrolysis temperatures, shrinkage becomes probably dominant after the softened hot 'film' has hardened due to various chemico-physical reactions.  However, many 'interesting' phenomena may still occur below such pyrolysis temperature region.

    The conclusion of our work relies strongly on observations, interdisciplinary knowledge of the material wood as a natural thermoplastic and the resulting thermo-mechanical behavior together linked with strong basis from the old-time Structural Mechanics.

    =================================================

      Content of the supporting pdf-material


      0. INTRODUTION

      1. ELASTICITY   

      2. VISCOELASTICITY  (& some basics of creep) 

      3. PLASTICITY   (& Failure Hypotheses )

    [NB]. If you are not enrolled in this course and you wish to obtain the pdf-material, please let me know by contacting me


    // NB. The topics treated in this intensive course are of great practical importance and cannot be avoided by serious & responsible future structural engineers: in any case, these topics will wait for them hidden inside the FE-software they will use to perform structural analysis. Isn't this course the right place for the 1st contact? //

    ==========================================

    Generalities


    There will be three sets of homework

    1. Elasticity

    2. Viscoelasticity

    3. Plasticity

    Please remember: doing actively the given homework is the only active and effective mean for learning and consolidating concepts that CIV-students should know and handle surely. Such concepts are exposed during the lectures.
