Basics of Strength Studies Laajuus (5 cr)

Objective

You are able to dimension structures under static loads and calculate their deformations. You know how to reduce the actual structure to a model of mechanics and solve the stresses that affect it. You are able to apply the principles of strength studies to solve practical problems.
