Prerequisites for registration: Ad a: positively passed Studies Induction and Orientation Stage; ad b.: none

Learning Outcome: Ad a and b: Students can explain the rope statics and solve elementary rope examples. They can determine the deflection and the equivalent spring stiffness of statically determinate bar structures according to Mohr's method and Castigliano's theorem. They are able to calculate the bar forces of plane and spatial trusses. They can reduce the pressure field of homogeneous and stratified liquids at rest on any container walls and determine the hydrostatic buoyancy. They are able to determine the velocity and acceleration of point masses and rigid bodies. They are able to describe the kinematics of flowing fluids in Lagrangian and Eulerian form and to apply the law of conservation of mass to flowing control volumes. They are able to apply Coulomb's law of friction and describe rope friction. They are able to apply the centre of gravity, momentum and swirl theorem to material volumes and control volumes through which a flow passes. They are able to transfer suitable oscillating systems to the model of the single-mass oscillator and analyse its dynamic response behaviour. They are able to calculate the mechanical work, power, potential and complementary energy of internal and external forces. Based on the theory of plane bending, students can determine the distortion energy of the slender bar under bending and normal force. Using the principle of virtual work, they can calculate support reactions and internal forces of statically determinate systems. They can describe the problems dealt with in the mechanics of solid and liquid bodies in a standardised way, apply them to suitable model problems and derive the underlying theories and equations.

Prerequisites for registration: none

Learning Outcome: Mastery of the principles and relations between the mechanics of solid and liquid bodies, the ability to form models and to perform basic tasks in statics and dynamics. This knowledge forms the basis of their serviceability and the loadbearing capacity of building constructions on the static and dynamic pressures and of their dimensioning.
