Grading:

Weekly exercises 25%

Exam 75%

 

There are three types of exercises.

Firstly, there are weekly exercises. Then, there is an experimental exercise. And finally, there is a project exercise, where each student presents a forest products application of Mechanics.

 

Weekly exercises are due each Monday at 9 am, between September 15 and October 6, to be returned to a mailbox by the main entrance of the Borealis Building.

 

Experimental exercise late September.

Reporting Sessions for Experimental exercise on October 24th (Room ???), at  8-12.

Exercises Contents:

 

There are three types of exercises:

 

1.Weekly exercises

 

As explained above. The approximated time consumption is 37 hours.

 

Exercise 1

 

Exercise 2

 

Exercise 3

 

Exercise 4

 

 

 

 

2.  Implementation and analysis of mechanical experiments

The approximated time consumption of this exercise is 24 hours, of which 2 hours in implementation of the experiment, and 22 hours for analyzing the results.

Detailed instructions are given below.

Briefly, the exercises contain

 

Experimental determination of:

Small-Strain Stiffness

Stress-Strain Curve

Tangential Stiffness

Irrecoverable Strain

Thermal expansion

Large-Strain Stiffness

Energy Dissipation

 

The effect of the following factors on the characteristics above

will be investigated:

Moisture Content

Straining Rate

 

 

3. Presentation of an application of mechanics in the Forest Products Industry

The approximated time consumption of this exercise is 13 hours, which is budgeted for the study of an application, on the basis of literature, and the preparation of a presentation regarding it. The presentations (each of duration 20...30 minutes, followed by discussion) will be given during the three last sessions of the lecture program.

 

Any presentation of application is supposed to based in documents identified by the instructor. The title of the presentation is to be designed by the presenter. The following literature is to be used as a basis of presentations. Any participant may choose one of the following groups of references:
