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

Student is able to represent the quantities and operators of continuum mechanics in different coordinate systems, knows the assumptions of the beam and plate models and derivation of the beam and plate equations using the principle of virtual work, and is able to write the equations in different coordinate system in flat and curved geometry and solve for the displacements in simple cases.
