After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend modern theories of advanced macro- & micromechanics of materials, up to a level which allows them to assign them to the solution of practical problemsin civil and bioengineering.
- fundamentals of continuum mechanics -- representative volume element - thermodynamics of porous continua - poroelasticity - poroplasticity - fundamentals of continuum micromechanics - applications in geo and bioengineering (e.g. tunneling, orthopaedics, wood engineering)
