Course content
Beams on elastic foundations. Principles 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. Introduction to mechanics of polymeric and composite materials.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The purpose of the subject 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.
After having absolved Strength of materials II, 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 Strength of Materials I (successful examination).

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

The requirements will be defined by lecturer.
