Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to select an appropriate method and solve typical problems of general strength and elasticity. They will acquire the knowledge of basic failure theories and can use it for prediction of structural behaviour.

Prerequisites

Mathematics: linear algebra, matrix notation, functions of one and more variables, calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations.
Basic knowledge of statics (especially equations of statical equilibrium and free body diagrams) and mechanics of materials (stress and strain tensors, elasticity theory of bars, plasticity criteria).

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credit is granted under the condition of active participation in seminars and passing the seminar tests of basic knowledge (at least 15 ECTS points out of 30 must be gained). The points gained in seminar tests are included in the final course evaluation.

Final examination: Written part of the examination plays a decisive role, where the maximum of 70 ECTS points can be reached. Solution of several computational problems is demanded. The problems come from typical profile areas of given subject and can be supplied by a theoretical question, proof, etc. The lecturer will specify exact demands like the number and types problems during the semester preceding the examination.

Final evaluation of the course is obtained as the sum of ECTS points gained in seminars and at the examination. To pass the course, at least 51 points must be reached.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide students with information concerning solution of general problems of strength and elasticity of engineering structures. Analytical, numerical and experimental methods of solution are presented and final assessment of structural limit states is discussed in details.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at seminars is required. One absence can be compensated by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or by working out an additional assignment. Longer absence is compensated by special tasks assigned by the tutor.

Recommended optional programme components
