Learning Outcomes

OB1: Apply fundamental concepts of mechanics of materials using simplified models to analyse engineering structures.

OB2: Analyse the behaviour of structural elements, such as beams and frames, under static and dynamic loading conditions.

OB3: Determine stresses, strains, and internal forces resulting from different types of mechanical actions.

OB4: Evaluate the safety and applicability conditions of structural analysis methods in engineering design.

OB5: Interpret and validate theoretical calculations through experimental and laboratory results.

OB6: Apply structural mechanics principles to solve engineering problems involving simple and combined loadings.
