Structural Mechanics II

7,5 credits, course, master's level, B7003B

Application period starts 2026-09-15

The course comprises methods for the analysis of slabs, plates and shells and calculation of critical load for trusses and frames.

After the course, the student should be able to:

• calculate critical load (instability) according to first and second order theories for 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional trusses and frames

• calculate stresses and deformations in slabs, plates and shells

• calculate shear forces and stresses of torsion loading in non-circular cross-sections

• plan and perform calculation tasks, process results and present them in writing (calculation report)
