Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to extend the existing knowledge of mechanics and apply it to the problems of supporting structures of building and transport machines, it includes computer support.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Calculation methods applicable in the design of supporting structures of building and preparation machines and plants in transport and handling engineering. Principles and applications of the final elements method in the field.
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics, physics and higher mathematics.

Links to other subjects:
recommended co-requisite: Transport Machines [QTZ]
compulsory co-requisite: Supporting Structures of Machines II [QN2]
Course contents:
The course familiarises students with the theoretical basis of structural mechanics calculation methods applicable in the design of supporting structures of building and preparation machines and plants in transport and handling engineering. Its aim is for students to get a particular picture of the tension and deformation state of the arbitrary point of the supporting structure. The course addresses the problems of the structures deformations, statically indeterminate problems, moving loads of structures, solution of thin-walled bars, principles and applications of the final elements method in the field.
