Institute of Solid Mechanics, Mechatronics and Biomechanics

Required mathematical knowledge includes linear algebra, matrix calculus, functions of one or more variables, differential and integral calculus and ordinary and partial differential equations. Programming skills are also required. In solid mechanics, students need knowledge corresponding to the Statics course (especially the construction of equations of statical equilibrium and free-body diagrams) and Strength of Materials I course (stress and strain tensors, beam theory and limit states of ductile and brittle materials).

Conditions for granting the course-unit credit: attendance, active participation in excercises, submission of solution of assigned problems and their presentation. A maximum of 10 points can be awarded for the solutions of the problems and their presentation.

The examination consists of two parts. The compulsory written test is worth a maximum of 80 points. The optional oral examination can adjust the evaluation by -10 to +10 points. The test format, types of problems and questions and other details will be communicated in person and through E-learning during the semester.

Attendance on the excercises is mandatory. Teachers continuously check attendance, active participation and basic knowledge. Unexcused absence is grounds for withholding the course-unit credit. An excused absence is compensated for by completing the assigned problems.

The course aims to extend the students' knowledge of safety assessment of engineering structures. Students will learn to obtain the analytical solutions of deformations and stresses in different types bodies and deepen their knowledge of limit states, especially under cyclic loading and presence of cracks in the body.

This subject is included into study plan of the 3rd year of bachelor's study as a compulsory-optional one. Its choice (or choice of its English version) is recommended in the case that the student intends to choose the programme N-ADI-P, N-MET-P, N-KSI-P, N-ETI-P, N-IMB-P or N-VSR-P.

Students will be able to classify common types of problems of strength of materials and under given circumstances to choose a suitable solution method of the problem via the corresponding analytical solution, preparation of inputs for numerical analysis or experimental approach. Students will be able to distinguish and assess the basic limit states of structures.
