Summary
The subject of Elasticity and Plasticity II focuses on the basic and advanced tasks of mathematical theory of elasticity in the field of rod and surface supporting structures. Detailed information about basic variables and equations of elasticity theory, the most common types of simplified problems of planar problem solving in bearing walls, slabs and shells, and selected methods of solving them. Part of the subject is also an introduction to analytical and numerical solution of basic models of the subsoil, boundary plastic bearing capacity of simple statically determined and indetermined structures, numerical solution of stability tasks in slender columns under compression and introduction to energy variation methods.
