Description

Version: 2.0 start 01 February 2020
 

Short description

Students are familiarised with the base quantities of the strength of materials and introduced to stress calculations for simple structures subjected to tension/compression/bending. Tensors are introduced as a basic mechanical quantity, taking the example of the stress tensor.

Graded assignments during teaching semester exam written 45 min mark 20%
End-of-semester exam exam written 90 min mark 80%

Remarks

1. This module requires mastery of the matters of the classes Analysis 1 and 2, Algebra and Statistics 1 and 2 as well as Statics.
2.
The lecturers in MFL1 jointly create a end-of-semster exam that is the same for all classes. The lecturers create the midterm exams individually, but coordinate them with each other with respect to the level of difficulty.
 

Legal basis

The module description is part of the legal basis in addition to the general academic regulations. It is binding. During the first week of the semester a written and communicated supplement can specify the module description in more detail.
