After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain basic concepts of continuum mechanics and strength of materials and to accordingly derive theoretical interrelations between key physical properties.

Stress tensor, strength criteria, strain tensor, principal of virtual power, work/energy/elasticity, basics of beam theory, loss of stability

Lecture at the blackboard; presentation of full-text lecture notes with formulae and numerical exercises; interactive questioning
