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.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Foundations of Solid Mechanics is one of the primary subjects for civil engineering and mechanical engineering. As a branch of mechanics, Foundations of Solid Mechanics is a basic subject for structural analysis and design deals with loads, deformations and the forces acting on the members. This course provides a conceptual introduction to stress and strain, bending, shear and torsion, and intends to make the students understand the rudimentary knowledge of structural analysis and design.
