Strength of Materials I (FSI-4PP-K)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Zdeněk Florian, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚMTMB all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The objective of the course Strength Analysis I is to equip the students with methodology for determination of strain and stress in bodies and risk assessment of basic boundary states. Practical experience with computations of the simplest bodies will be further supplemented with basic knowledge necessary for the strength design of real machine parts.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Basic knowledge of stress and strain related to simple cases of rod under stress and the idea of the boundaries of applicability of these classical approaches. Conditions of fundamental boundary states and determination of safety in case of general strain with the aim to reliably set the dimensions of bodies or machine parts.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of statics and mathematics.
Statics - conditions of static equilibrium and equivalence, the release of the body, the assessment of static certainty, resulting internal effects.
Mathematics - vectors and matrices, differentials and integrals, solutions to differential equations. Knowledge of the software Maple.
Course contents:
Basic concepts and problems of strength analysis. Basic mechanical properties of material. General theorems of linear elasticity. Definition, classification and assumptions of rod as the simplest model body. Rod under simple stress - tension / compression, torsion, and bending. Strain at a body point. Boundary states of elasticity and brittle strength. Safety conditions. Rods under combined stresses. Supporting stability of rods.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course-unit credit is granted under the condition of active participation in seminars and passing the seminar tests of basic knowledge (at least 10 ECTS points out of 20 must be gained). The points gained in seminar tests are included in the final course evaluation.
Final examination: Written part of the examination plays a decisive role, where the maximum of 80 ECTS points can be reached. Solution of several computational problems is demanded. The problems come from typical profile areas of given subject and supplied by a theoretical question, proof, etc. The lecturer will specify exact demands like the number and types problems during the semester preceding the examination.
Final evaluation of the course is obtained as the sum of ECTS points gained in seminars and at the examination. To pass the course, at least 50 points must be reached.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Head of seminars carry out continuous monitoring of student's presence, their activities and basic knowledge.
