The study programmes with the given course

Objective of the course – aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to extend the existing knowledge of mechanics and apply it to the problems of supporting structures of building and transport machines, it includes computer support.
Objective of the course – learning outcomes and competences:
Calculation methods applicable in the design of supporting structures of building and preparation machines and plants in transport and handling engineering.
Principles and applications of the final elements method in the field.
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics, physics and higher mathematics.
Course contents (annotation):
The course familiarises students with the theoretical basis of structural mechanics calculation methods applicable in the design of supporting structures of building and preparation machines and plants in transport and handling engineering. Its aim is for students to get a particular picture of the tension and deformation state of the arbitrary point of the supporting structure. The course addresses the problems of the structures deformations, statically indeterminate problems, moving loads of structures, solution of thin-walled bars, principles and applications of the final elements method in the field.
Teaching methods and criteria:
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The examination has a written and oral part. Written part of the exam is evaluated by 50 points; it is necessary to achieve at least 25 points to be accepted for the oral part. Oral exam is evaluated independently and it is the same weight as the written part.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences:
Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the exercises actively and worked out assigned projects.
