The aim of this course is to familiarize students with some complex aspects of structural resistance: stresses and deformations in linear structural elements, complex stresses, statically determined and undetermined problems, elastic and plastic deformations; cylindrical shells exposed to combined loads, boundary conditions; preparation of models for calculation using FEM.

1. Within the course, students will learn different methods for analysis of loads, supports, materials and geometry for statically determinate and indeterminate linear structures as well as for cylindrical shells. 2. For given mechanical characteristics of individual elements of linear supports and shells, students will learn how to analyze the load capacity of such structures as well as to predict different yield criteria. 3. By completing this course, students will master the basics of calculation of various types of beam supports and cylindrical shells with special reference to their practical calculation in engineering practice.
