Learning outcomes of the course unit

By finishing the course, the student will know fundamental equation of elasticity describing the linear behavior of element. Student will be able to use virtual work principle for solving simple elasticity tasks. Student familiarize with Ritz method. Student is able to motel the structure as 2-D elasticity task (plane stress, deformation) and knows plate theory. Marginally have cognizance of shell theory. Student knows FEM principles and fundamentals of single type finite element derivation. Knowledge of Finite Element Method (FEM) is sufficient for understanding and usage programs based on FEM in practice.

Aims

During the course the student will obtain knowledge about basic quantities and relations of theory of elasticity for solid, beam, plane and plate structures. He will be skilled in the basic laws of mechanics - the principle of the virtual work and the principle of minimum of potential energy - and variational methods - Ritz method and finite elements method. After finishing the course he will be able to apply these methods on mentioned types of structures, to derive finite elements and to use computational programs based on finite elements methods in practise.
