Learning Outcomes
Competences
The students understands technical terms from mechanics and can evaluate mechanical models with repect to validity and limitations. The student understands and can apply the mathematical tools required in the analysis of continuum mechanics and in continuative courses.
Skills Knowledge
  • Understanding of the foundational concepts of continuum mechanics of solids and fluids and the resulting equations;
  • Applying analytic methods for the treatment of the corresponding equations;
  • Setting up of force and stress distributions in practical problems and calculating them in standard cases;
  • Simplifying mechanical models for practical applications and valuing their applicability;
  • Understanding material models in practical applications valuing their applicability
