After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the fundmental concepts and methods of strength of materials and to apply them appropriately to practically relevant problems like rods, discs, plates and shells.
Torsion of straight rods with arbitrary cross section (thin-walled, shear center, torsion with constrained warping), curved rods, rotationally symmetric thin-walled structures (plates and shells), variational principles, approximation methods (Ritz, Galerkin)
