After completing the course, students will know the basic equation describing the linear elasticity behavior of the body. They know the solution of problems of elasticity. They will be able to use the principle of virtual work for solving simple problems. Understand the use of Ritz and Galerkin methods. Students can model the structure as a 2-D elasticity problem (plane stress, deformation) and knows the theory of plates. Marginally is informed about the theory of shells. Students will learn the basics elastic-plastic analysis and is able to determine the plastic limit load carrying capacity of beam and slab structures.

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.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Extended theoretical knowledge of nonlinear mechanics including its applications in analysis of structures should be gained on a voluntary specialized seminar.
