Description

This lecture introduces the basics of structural mechanics, covering topics such as constraints, deformations, materials behavior, and the application of Hooke's law. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding and controlling constraints and deformations in microtechnical engineering. The lecture also discusses load-dependent structures, internal forces, and the finite element modeling approach. Examples like a robotic arm, a mechanical watch, and a MEMS sensor are used to illustrate concepts. The assumptions of linear elastic regime, material homogeneity, and continuity are explained. The session concludes with constraints in 1D and sets the stage for further exploration of structural mechanics.
