The course objective is to enable students for formulating the fundamental set of equations describing the deformation of an elastic body and for solving the set equations for concrete problems.

Acquired knowledge is related to: analysis of stress, strain, and constitutive equations for an elastic body. The assumption is that students are able to individually solve limit problems in the theory of elasticity, meaning they are able to form an adequate mathematical model and then solve it by applying analytical and computer methods.

Stress analysis. Stress tensor. Strain analysis. Strain tensor. Hook`s law. Limit problems in the theory of elasticity and methods for solving them. Plain state of strain and plain state of stress. Spatial problems in the theory of elasticity. Measuring tapes.

Classical teaching methods using computer as a supplementary device, as well as active students` participation.
