Saint Venant's Problem (Structural Mechanics), Appunti di Meccanica Computazionale delle Strutture

These notes are based on the course of structural mechanics (2022/2023 academic year) taught by prof. Alberto Taliercio. This specific file contains the following topics: fundamental St. Venant's assumptions, principle of elastic equivalence, various St. Venant cases (e.g. axial force, symmetric bending, eccentric axial force, torsion, shear force + torsion), displacement approach and stress approach in context of torsion, thin-walled open sections subjected to torsion, approximate shear force theory, thin-walled cross-sections subject to shear, and strain energy of St. Venant's solids subjected to shear.
