Subject syllabus

Outline:
1. Plane bar structure: Temperature load. Semi-rigid joint. Yielding of supports.
2. Plane bar structure: Linear combination of the load effects.
3. Other possibilities for the solutions of the frames: gaps, eccentricity.
4. Plane bar structure: Geometrically nonlinear solution.
5. Spatial bar structure: Modelling in 3D. Local and global coordinate system. Simple construction.
6. Spatial bar structure – a complex problem: Preparation of geometry in a construction design CAD software.
7. Spatial bar structure – a complex problem: Import of the geometry into the static software. Amendment of the load and supports to the model. The solution and the assessment of the problem.
8. Spatial bar structure: Natural frequency and mode shapes. The influence of damping.
9. Slab: Comparison of the Mindlin’s theory and Kirchhoff’s theory. Subsoil models. Parametric calculations (influence of network, load application and supports to the stress peak).
10. Application of shells for I-profile modeling: Geometry. Supports. Load.
11. Application of shells for I-profile modeling: Parametric calculations (influence of network, load application and supports to the stress peak).
12. Complex spatial model: Combination of bar and flat elements.
