| Short description: | Strength of materials determines the effects of internal forces on the rod systems i.e. stresses, strains, displacements and energy, taking into account mechanical and physical properties of material. |
| Full description: | Strength of materials basic assumptions, concept of stress. Normal and shear stresses. Stress tensor, principal stresses, maximum shear stresses. Simple stress situations. Uniaxial normal stress. Simple shear stress, technical shear. Geometrical properties of an area, first and second moments of area. Torsion of round section bars. Simple pure bending, diagonal bending, bending with shear. |

| Learning outcomes: | Knowledge Knows the effects of interial forces, and the conditions which must be met by a well-designed construction element subjected to any load. Understands basis of the strength of materials, i.e. stress tensor and strain tensor. Skills Can determine state of stress and strain in a construction element. Can dimension construction element subjected to any load. Social competences Can independently organize designer’s workshop Understand responsibility of the construction engineer at design and construction stage of modern structures. |
