Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

Lecture note - 2018 (pdf in MyCourses) . This is a must-read for
those interrested in general and systematic energetic approach for
elastic stability. - Structural Stability (Lecture notes by Prof Markku Tuomala, in Finish). This is a complete textbook with plenty of solved exercises.
- Lecturer weekly provided additional material
- Some article fron NATURE for curious people
Passing the course
- Having obtained from HW-assignements >= 40% of compulsory points togather with passing successfully the written exam.
- when
the written exam is
successfully passed, then the homework points rise the examination grade (arvosana) at
most by 1 grade if homework points >= 2/3 of homework compulsory
maximum points.
- There will be organised only two examinations
Assignments
- readings from
textbook and the additional lecturer's pdf-material
- doing weekly homework
(probably five topics) student delivery: solutions
- one computer
analysis: linear buckling and post-buckling analysis: student delivery:
solutions and report
The purpose of assignments is to train and deepen active learning. All
the cession of exercises are guided.
