The necessary knowledge from mathematics are linear algebra, matrix calculus, functions of one and more variables, differential and integral calculus and ordinary and partial differential equation. Next the knowledge of programming in MATLAB software is required. The necessary knowledge from solid mechanics in the scope of corresponding to the subject Statics (especially the construction of equations of statical equilibrium and free body diagrams) and Strength of materials I (stress and strain tensors, beam theory, limit states of ductile and brittle materials).

Conditions for granting the course-unit credit: Attendance, active participation in the seminars and submission of given tasks, including their presentation.
Examination: Examination is split into two parts. The content of the first mandatory part is the written test, where the maximum of 80 points can be reached. The content of the second part, which is optional, is an oral examination, where it can be reached from -20 to +20 points. Specific form of the examination, types of the tasks, questions and other details will be communicated during the semester by the lecturer and through the E-learning.

Attendance on the seminars is mandatory. A continuous control of the presence of students is conducted, including the control of activity and basic knowledge. Unexcused absence is grounds for not granting the couse-unit credit.

The aim of the subject is to extend the knowledge on the possibilities of safety assessment of engineering structures. The student should manage the analytical solutions of deformations and stresses in various bodies. The knowledge on limit states is also extended, especially under the conditions of cyclic loading and existence of cracks in the body.
This subject is included into study plan of the 3rd year of bachelor's study as a compulsory-optional one. Its choice (or choice of its English version) is recommended in the case that the student intends to choose the programme N-ADI-P, N-MET-P, N-KSI-P, N-ETI-P, N-IMB-P or N-VSR-P.

Students will be able to categorize common types of tasks of strength of materials and is able to choose an appropriate methodology of problem solution in the given circumstances via the corresponding analytical solution, preparation of input data for a numerical calculation or design of an experimental technique. Student will be able to distinguish and assess the basic limit state of structures.
