Learning outcomes: During the course the student gets a theoretical knowledge and practical skills permitting to a computer modeling and structural analysis of statical and dynamical of rod, beam and surface structures. Particularly, the student gets the application ability of using the finite elements method for evaluation of the strain and stress states of engineering structures, conducting the discretization of geometry of analyzed objects, the methods of their supports and load conditions and also to start an adequate and appropriate calculation procedure using for this purpose computer system based on ROBOT Millennium.

Competences: After completion of the course, the student should be able to conduct the calculation closed with the statical and dynamical analyses of different types of civil engineering structures and their components using computer system based on ROBOT Millennium.

Prerequisites: Passing the courses in strength of materials and mechanics and theory of structural and computational analysis.

Course content: Computational methods – characteristics of methods: FDM, FEM and REM, common properties, advantage and disadvantages and possibility of applications, classification of rod, beam and surface girders, conception of FEM, continuity conditions, equilibrium equations for the element and discretion structures, applied elements in the discretization of the surface girders, shape functions, numerical integration, stiffness matrix building for one element and discretion structures, linear an non-linear problems - methods solutions, dynamic problems in engineering structures, integration of moving equations equations.
