For some reason in my bachelor's program we ignored this subject and in my masters we spend maybe a week on it. So I am not that familiar with it. I have a basic idea how to use this method, but I am not sure when I am required to apply it.
Are there certain types of questions or situations that make it obvious that plastic analysis needs to be considered? Or can I avoid it all together?
When I was studying this part, the simple beams and frames were fairly straight forward, but once the structure starts getting bigger and you run into more failure combinations I start to get confused...
Anyone have any idea what we might expect on the exam? I managed to track down one textbook and one of EIT's course notes to help me out, but I am just not sure if I should be focusing too hard on this particular subject and if I should, what parts should I be focusing on?
Thanks.
