After successful completion of the course, students are able to solve civil engineering problems of kinematics, hydrostatics- and dynamics, and kinetics of solid structures, and to develope computer-oriented mechanical modells.

Mechanical stress, deformations and strains, law of elasticity, elastic deflection curve. Hydrostatic uplift, resulting hydrostatic forces. Application of the principle of virtual displacements. Kinematics and kinetics of the mass point, the rigid body and of fluids. Conservation of momentum, conservation of angular momentum. Energy theorem, Bernoulli’s equation of hydrodynamics. Linear vibrations of both SDOFs and MDOFs.

Lectures including many numerical example problems.


The lecture units will be held face-to-face at TU and additionally be available for live streaming via LectureTube on TUWEL. The TUWEL course also provides the notes of the past lectures as PDF files. All TUWEL contents will remain available to all registered students until the end of the semester.

Due to the infection process, there may be changes in the LVA mode.

Please, note that there will not be any recorded videos of the lectures provided.

The exams will be held on campus. However, due to the pandemic it might become necessary to change the format of the tests to online at short notice. If you have trouble to attend an exam or have further questions, please, contact one of the lecturers.

Written and oral examination.

During summer semester 2021, the exams will take place mainly ONLINE and only WRITTEN.
