Learning Outcomes
Students
-will undestand stresses, deformations and displacements as the crucial properties for the design of components as well as the mechanical relations between these properties.
- will use these quantities for the design of components, mainly beams subjected to every type of loading (tension, compression, bending, shearing, torsion, combined loading).
- will understand and calculate instability phenomena of components (buckling).
- will apply energetic methods to the design of components, mainly beams subjected to every type of loading (tension, compression, bending, shearing, torsion, combined loading).
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an international context
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas
