Course content
Beams on elastic foundations. Foundations of plasticity: material models, limit state, residual stresses. Elastic bending of thin plates. Axisymmetrical plates. Thin-walled vessels and shells - membrane and bending stresses. Cylindrical shell. Approximate methods of analysis, introduction into the finite element method. Thick-valled cylinders. Elastic and elastic-plastic deformations. Shrink-fitted joints. Rotating discs. Full disc and disc with a hole. Dics of constant stresses. Contact problems (contact of spheres and cylinders, stresses and deformations). Failure of components. Response of brittle and ductile bodies with notches. Brittle fracture. Fatigue. Variable and random loading Damage accumulation concepts. Time to failure. Principles of fracture mechanics. Fast fracture, subcritical crack growth. Mechanics of polymeric and composite materials. Time allowance, course recapitulation.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The purpose of the course is to teach the students to understand the load response in more complex cases, to determine stresses and deformations in components in elastic and elastic-plastic state, and to evaluate the safety of a component or to propose the cross-section dimensions for given load and demanded degree of safety or time of operation.
On the course Mechanics of materials II completion, student is able to calculate stresses and deformations in more complex cases (plates, membranes and shells, beams on elastic foundations, elastic-plastic deformations, fracture, fatigue). He/she is able to evaluate the safety of a component or to propose the cross-section dimensions for given load and demanded degree of safety.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of Mechanics of Materials I (successful examination).

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Knowledge of Mechanics of Materials I, attendance at lectures and seminars of Mechanics of Materials II, fulfillment of duties (homeworks, tests) defined by the lecturer at the beginning of the semester.
