Learning Outcomes
Students will be competent in modelling a rigid body under stress according to the principles of the strength theory. They will be able to determine the tension affecting on the body and whether or not the body can withstand the tension in question.
Student's Workload
The total work load is 106 hours consisting of 56 hours of scheduled studies and 50 hours of self-studies.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Statics
Contents
Basic concepts of in mechanics of materials, normal and shear stress, tension and compression of a straight bar, hyperstatic tension and compression, statically indeterminate structures, pure bending, bending stresses, asymmetrical bending, determining the deflection of straight beams, concept of deflection curve,hyperstatic bending,torsion, statically determined cases, torsion, hyperstatic cases, buckling, state of stress.

Lectures and assignments
Assessment Criteria
A satisfactory grade is reached by showing an ability to solve at least two of the five given problems. A good grade requires adequate solution of at least three of the given problems. Excellent grade can only be reached by solving all the given problems properly. One of the problems is quite challenging in order to measure students maturity to master more complex entities of mechanics.
Assessment Methods
- Two interim exams or one final exam
- Assignments have an effect on the overall grade
Work Placement
None
