Knowledge of fundamental principles in mechanics of solids. Application to elementary problems of statics of structures. Development of practice-oriented problem formulations (suitable for numerical implementation) and computational methods.

Modeling concepts in mechanics. Fundamentals of statics (force, force density, stresses, force systems and their reduction, equilibrium equations, free body diagram). Weight, center of gravity, static moments. Introduction into static analysis of beams and frames (reaction forces, stress resultants, local equilibrium equations).

Development of concepts and fundamental principles of mechanics on the blackboard, supplemented by lecture notes.

Written examination in two parts.
First part: solution of example problems.
Second part: theory

Lecture notes.
