Summary
This subject teaches the basics terms of mechanics of deformed bodies. Basic types of tensions (i.e. tension, pressure, bending, torsion, buckling, limit states) for statically determinate and indeterminate cases. Discussed issue is in the branch of linear elasticity and gives skills applied for the design and assessment of simple technical structures.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To teach students the basic procedures for solving some technical problems of the continuum mechanics. To ensure understanding of such teaching problems. To learn our students to apply of theoretical knowledge in praxis.
