Curricula

Objectives

The knowledge and skills you get on this course you will need in order to be able to determine the stresses affecting in the structures and to be able to dimension the structure for different materials.
Course competences:
- Mathematic and Natural science competence
- Technological competence
The learning objectives of the course:
You can tell about the dependence between tension and deformation. You know how to determine the stresses and tensions in the structures, and you know how to dimension the structures for shear, compression, tension and bending. You know how to determine the buckling load and also the allowable load for the compressed slender rod. You know when combinations of tension occur in the structure and you know how to perform a review of it.
