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.

Euqilibrium on three-dimensional continuum, Stress tensor, strength criteria, strain tensor, principal of virtual power, work/energy/elasticity, basics of beam theory, loss of stability

Online Lecture; presentation of full-text lecture notes with formulae and numerical exercises;

Teaching during COVID-19 crisis:
In times of interrupted classroom teaching, IMWS-E202 uses TUWEL as primary communication channel.

For all those listeners which are not registered to the current presence group (Präsenzgruppe), the lecture is transmitted via LiveStream - the link can be found on TUWEL.

The first lecture is scheduled for Wednesday, 6th October 2021, 14h15(s.t.)-15h45. On Thursday, 07th October 2021, and Thursday 14th October 2021 08h15(s.t.)-09h30 there will be an additional VO (instead of the UE). More information on the schedule can be found in the calender, available in the download area.

For questions concerning the lecture contact L. Pircher, H. Höld or R. Scharf. Contact details: https://www.imws.tuwien.ac.at/en/home/

READMISSION PRESENCE GROUP RULE FROM MECHANICS 2: In a first iteration the presence groups (Präsenzgruppen) of Mechanics 2 will be taken!

Written and oral exam (current expectation: online)

Participation in the oral exam is only possible after successfully passing the written exam. Seperate registration via TISS required.

Since 01.06.2022 all written exams are being held in the old modus, hence consisting of 3 examples with multiple subtasks.

Documents will be available online via TUWEL.
