Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Advanced Beam Theory

This subject is about Advanced Beam Theory which is divided in three sub lectures, Virtual Work of Internal Forces, Equilibrium Equations and Extension and Bending.

In the lecture 1, an introduction to beams will be given. In next, the “degrees of freedom” will be explained. After that the corresponding section forces and moments through the using of the virtual work of internal forces are derived. In the lecture 2, equations of equilibrium, with and without the Euler-Bernouilli assumptions, will be taught. The lecture 3 deals with strain energy in extension and bending.
