ECTS credits: 3
Description:
The Mechanics and strength of materials module shall enable that students are knowledgeable about issues of balance of systems of forces acting on model material bodies and about phenomena occurring in real bodies, deformed under the effect of acting stresses and temperature fields. Owing to that students shall obtain a better understanding of the importance of material properties mechanical conditions. This will allow using in the process of designing of ready elements, mutual relationship between material features conditioned by the structure and varying in time parameters specifying the material condition.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the physics and mathematics modules.
Key reading:

Learning outcome of the module Codes of the learning outcomes of the programme to which the learning outcome of the module is related [level of competence: scale 1-5]
Students have the knowledge about the technical mechanics and materials strength useful to ensure safety of structural elements work, to determine the degree of a structural element deformation and to optimise the structure performance in terms of its own weight and costs of the elements used; students have detailed knowledge related to the static and effort analysis of selected elements of mechanical systems.
