LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Understanding of the role of the three-dimensional elasticity theory in (bar, beam, membrane,) plate and shell models in analyzing the mechanics of structures
2. Understanding of the energy and equilibrium approaches in deriving and formulating (bar, beam, membrane,) plate and shell models
3. Ability to derive the (beam and) plate models of statics and free vibrations within the theory of elasticity
4. Ability to apply plate and shell models to various types of structural analyses and to solve the corresponding partial differential equations by the most relevant analytical solution methods

Assessment Methods and Criteria
valid for whole curriculum period:
1. Theoretical home assignments:
- returned according to weakly deadlines (assessed weekly by assistants)2. Final exam:
- on week 7 (assessed by the lecturer)The final grade (0--5) is composed of the points collected from the final examination (50% = 18 pts) and exercise assignments (50% = 18 pts). The passing grade 1 can be achieved by about 50% (18 pts) of the total maximum (36 pts).
Workload
valid for whole curriculum period:
Lectures: 2 double-hours per week (24 h = 18%)
- contact teaching: attending the lectures (pre-browsing, listening, writing notes, asking etc.)Reading: 2 double-hours per week (24 h = 18%)
- self-studies: reading and writing the derivations in the lecture slides and/or textbookTheoretical Exercises: 1--2 double-hours per week (12--24 h = 9--18%)
- contact teaching: advice hours for theoretical hands-on exercises instructed by assistantsTheoretical Home Assignments: 6--8 hours per week (36--48 h = 27--36%)
- 4-6 per week
- self-studies for theoretical hands-on exercises: problem solving, calculating, writing solution documentsFinal exam and preparation: 3 + 10 hours (13 h = 10%)
