Supporting Structures of Machines II (FSI-QN2)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Miroslav Škopán, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
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]
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.
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. Part of the course can be excursions to the companies, which manufacture or operate the equipments from the thematic area of education.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Comprehensive Examination for two semesters consists of written and oral. Written examination is evaluated by 50 points for the oral part is necessary to obtain at least 25 points. The oral part of the exam is evaluated independently and it is the evaluation of the same weight as the written part.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the exercises actively and worked out assigned project (the displacement method), which follows the project from QN1. Presence in the exercises is obligatory.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 1 hrs. optionally                  
    Computer-assisted exercise  13 × 1 hrs. compulsory
