Objectives

Student is able to choose and dimension the central machine elements of mechanical engineering.
The student knows both the basic and the most important special theories of strength calculation. He can apply these theories in strength calculations. He knows the laws describing the strength behavior of a solid part. He knows the fundamentals of the linear theory of elasticity and it's solution methods. He knows the basics of the theories of both thin and flat plates, membrane theory of shells and the energy principles of strength. Student is able proceed basic strain measurements and analyse the results.

Content
