Course detail
Stochastic Mechanics
FSI-RSO Acad. year: 2020/2021 Summer semester
Statistical techniques play indispensable roles in the fields of engineering disciplines, as well as in meteorology, biology and medicine. In this course we discuss the structure of probability space, characteristics of random data, probability function, correlation and spectral density functions, system identification and response, and basic engineering applications of correlation and spectral analysis.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students can solve simple stochastic problems after the course. Students will have basic knowledge for following studies this field.
Prerequisites
Basic terms of mathematical statistics and probabilistic, basic theory of mechanics, theory of dynamic systems and theory of technical systems.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Exam is written. Students get ahead topics. Oral exam will be in case irresolution.
Aims
The aim of course is insight into stochastic mechanic meaning in engineering and integration to modeling of technical systems. It demand: make clear of knowledge of mathematical statistics and probabilistic theory, basic features of steady and unsteady phenomena, basic features of steady random processes algebra, basic features of modeling possibilities of operative and random processes, knowledge of basic method of dynamic systems responses solving.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Accreditation requirements are attendance on the practice and good results from all courses. Teacher defines concrete requirements in first practice.
