Free body diagram, load-bearing supports, plane girders. Static calculations of chains (cables) with concentrated load and with transport load. Static problems – examples.
Introduction to strength of materials. Types of stresses and deformations. Sizing. Examples of deformations and stresses in photovoltaic modules. Deformation and stress during shear, bending and torsion. Natural chains, cables, chains. Mechanical calculations for overhead cable lines.
Introduction to fluid mechanics. Hydrostatic surface pressure. Application in dams in hydropower facilities. Fluid dynamics. Stationary and non-stationary fluid flow. Bernoulli equation. Fluid flow in evenly rotating channels. Loss of energy in moving fluids. Application – fluid dynamics in closed and open channels, pipelines, hydroturbines, wind turbines, etc.

19. Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Regular attendance at classes
20. Forms of assessment Two partial written exams are provided during the semester, at the middle and at the end of the semester, with duration of 120 minutes; and test that are conducted during the classes. For students who have passed the partial exams, the exam is considered as passed. The other students take the final exam on the whole material, with duration of 120 minutes. Students make seminar works during the semester. The final grade is formed considering points from the partial exams/final exam, tests and seminar works.
