17. Learning outcomes
A. Knowledge
  • the student knows the Lagrange equations of the second kind describing holonomic and scleronomic sytems
  • knows the existence criteria of the stable equilibrium
  • knows the equations describing longitudinal, torsional and bending vibrations of rods
  • knows the vibration theory of shafts, cords and membranes
  • knows the basics of modal analysis
  • knows the motion stability criterium for both linear and nonlinear cases
  • knows the notions of bifurcation and postcritic state, as well as the theory of stability loss
B. Skills
  • the student is able to check the stability of a structure
  • is able to analyze the possible vibrations
  • is able to build linear and non-linear models
  • is able to study models and to discuss results
C. Attitudes
  • the student makes an effort to gather all the available informations in a given domain
  • cooperates with his fellow students and the teacher
  • is open minded towards new and innovative ideas and researches
  • uses informatical and computational devices for his work
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
  • the student is conscient about his responsibility towards the society and his company
  • asks for the colleagues' expertise and judgement when working
  • considers challenges with responsibility
18. Requirements, way to determine a grade (obtain a signature)
For signature: 2 semestrial homeworks, 2 midter tests with 50% result. Final mark equals to the result of the exam.
19. Opportunity for repeat/retake and delayed completion
Second test possibility for those not present on the test, possibility of delayed deadline for homework
