Recommended semester: 1

Study mode: full-time

Prerequisites: -

Course category:

Language: english

Responsible instructor: Dr. Katula Levente Tamás

Instructor(s): Papp Klaudia, - nincs

Course objectives:
The acquisition of basic engineering approaches, skills and proficiency in the field of inspection, dimensioning and load-bearing capacity calculation of supporting structures, as well as in the determination of deformation of supporting structures and the loads of statically indeterminate supports. The aim of the education is to introduce theoretical relationships, to present them on examples close to mechanical engineering practice, and to develop appropriate practice in solving tasks.

Course content - lectures:

Knowledge of vector algebra. Knowledge of the concepts of force, couple, torque and resultant force. Resultant, reduction, decomposition of planar and spatial force systems, support force and internal forces in simple and complex structures, determination of rod forces in a planar truss structure, drawing of stresses and stress diagrams of structures consisting of rods.

Course content - seminars:

Determining the support force of simple and complex beams. Determining the support force of spatial beams. Calculating the bar forces of truss beams. Drawing the stress diagrams of simple beams.

Additional professional competences:

Requirements, evaluation, grading:
Mid-term study requirements:
The practical grade is based on the points earned. If this does not reach 50 points, you will be given the opportunity to write a 100-point retake exam once, which will then be the basis for the assessment.
Exam requirements:

Generative AI usage:

1st position: The use of GAI tools is not permitted when solving tasks. This means that GAI tools cannot be used when creating or solving formative or summative assessment elements, and the use of generative AI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for language and spelling checking is not subject to the complete ban under the 1st position.
