The course builds upon the knowledge gained in basic mechanics courses in bachelor study (especially Statics and Elasticity) in the field of mathematical theory of elasticity. Emphasis is placed on plane and axisymmetric problems, as well as on the calculation of stress and strain in plates and shells. Students are further acquainted with methods of modeling the behavior of subsoil used in the design of line structures.
