Learning Outcomes
Students shall understand multiaxial stresses, strains and dislacements acting on metallic two-dimensional structures, the relationships between them and should be able to calculate them by means of physic-mathematical equations. They shall understand elastic-plastic material behavior and the different material behavior under monotonic and cyclic loading. They shall understand and calculate the mechanical behavior acting in failure-critical locations of engineering components subjected to stochastic and random loading using the principles of Mechanics. They shall recognize technological factors affecting the strength of engineering components and they shall determine their influence on strength. They shall understand and apply the state-of-the-art methodologies to determine the lifetime of components subjected to cyclic loading with variable mean values and ranges and they shall be able to calculate and assess their lifetime.
