Mechanics of Materials

Language of instruction angličtina, čeština
Code 330-3301
Abbreviation MCM
Course title Mechanics of Materials
Coordinating department Department of Applied Mechanics
Course coordinator prof. Ing. Martin Fusek, Ph.D.

Summary

The course will introduce you to the basic concepts of mechanics of deformable bodies. You will cover the basic types of stresses (tension, compression, bending, torsion, buckling, failure limit states) for statically certain and indeterminate problems. The material discussed remains within the limits of linear elasticity and provides you with knowledge applicable to the design and assessment of simple engineering structures. In addition, the course introduces you to basic experimental methods, especially strain gauging. You will also gain a basic understanding of the theory of fatigue damage.
The learning outcome is the ability to independently design and evaluate simple engineering structures within linear elasticity under basic loading conditions, perform calculations for statically determinate and indeterminate problems, and apply fundamental knowledge of strain gauge measurements and fatigue damage theory.
