Students will be able to analyze common problems of general strength and elasticity, to choose an appropriate method of problem solution via either analytical solution or preparation of input data for a numerical solution or proposal of an experimental method. They will be able to distinguish and assess basic types of failures of engineering structures.

Mathematics: linear algebra, matrix notation, functions of one and more variables, differential and integral calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations. Ability of application of mathematical software (Maple) is required as well.
Basic knowledge of statics (especially equations of statical equilibrium and free body diagrams) and mechanics of materials (stress and strain tensors, elasticity theory of bars, failure criteria for ductile and brittle materials).

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Conditions for granting the course-unit credit: Attendance, active participation in seminars and submission of given tasks, including their presentation.

Examination: Examination is split into two parts. The content of the first mandatory part is the theoretical written test, where the maximum of 80 points can be reached. The content of the second part, which is optional, is an oral examination, where it can be reached from -20 to +20 points. Specific form of the examination, types of the tasks or questions and other details will be communicated during the semester by the lecturer and through e-learing.

The aim of the course is to enlarge the students' knowledge on possibilities of assessment of safety of engineering structures. Students should become capable to solve stresses and deformations in various model bodies analytically. Also knowledge on failure criteria is enhanced, especially under conditions of cyclic loading and existence of cracks in the body.

This subject is included into study plan of the 3rd year of bachelor's study as a compulsory-optional one. It is recommended as a prerequisite of branches M-ADI, M-ENI, M-FLI, M-IMB, M-MET or M-VSR.

Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Head of seminars carry out continuous monitoring of student's presence, their activities and basic knowledge.
