Course aims
To develop basic knowledge needed for mechanical engineer of:
general principles of mechanical behaviour and strength of loaded bodies,
related terminology and methodology of solving most important strength
problems and skills to implement the knowledge above in solving of simple
practical strength analysis problems.
Brief description of the course
Purpose and basic principles of strength analysis. Strength of components in
compression and tension. Strength of components in torsion. Strength of joints
in shear. Properties of plane areas. Strength of components in bending.
Assessment method
Two requirements are set in order to get the final mark:
1. Four homeworks must be submitted;
2. Two part-term written examinations must be passed.
Unsuccessful examinations can be repeated either one-by-one or as joint exams.
Assessment criterion
Homeworks will get a mark grade (0 ... 5). The homework will be marked with 0
in the cases when the solution is totally wrong or the solution is not finished or
the homework problem does not belong to respective student.
Written examinations are evaluated with credits (0 ... 100). The part-term
examination is considered as passed, when it has got minimum 51 credits – in
order to get the positive final mark grade all two part-term examinations should
be passed with minimum 51 credits each.
Each examination consists of practical assignments, giving a possible total
maximum of 80 credits and short theory questions, giving a possible total
maximum of 20 credits.
Final mark
Grades of all homeworks will be summarized, this is the partial mark grade H1;
Arithmetical average value of all part-term examinations’ credits will be
calculated, that will be converted to the partial mark grade H2;
Final mark grade will be calculated with formula: H = H1 + 0,8H2
