Solid Mechanics for Engineering Science I for Master students in engineering science

The course deals with basic concepts such as stress, strain, and shear and their interaction in three-dimensional states of load. The course also treats bending, torsion and tensile stress in structures of thin oblong elements and tubes exposed to temperature load and/or inner surplus pressure. Basic solid mechanical problems and issues of fatigue are outlined. Students perform a computer laboratory analysis of a problem using the FEM method.

Progressive specialisation: G1F (has less than 60 credits in first‐cycle course/s as entry requirements)
