Applied Mechanics

Overview

The graduate will be able to perform static, kinematic and dynamic analysis of mechanisms to apply a knowlidge of fracture mechanics in the evaluation of limit states of components and structures, to assess the reliability and durability of machines, thermal stresses and solve technical task of flow dynamics in hydro-mechanical and thermodynamical systems. 

In specific applications he will be able to utilize and further develop computer support in the design, especially by means of FEM. The graduate applies as a calculator engineer or researcher in engineering plants and also, after increasing the qualification in doctoral studies, as a researcher.

The main emphasis in graduate education in the field of Applied Mechanics from the Technical University of Ostrava is on the readiness and ability to develop, elaborate and practical use of modern computational and experimental approaches to solve technical problems.

Graduates will be able to perform static, kinematic and dynamic analysis of mechanisms and structures, to apply fracture mechanics in the assessment of limit states of components and structures, to assess the reliability and durability of machines, temperature loading, deal with technical tasks, flow dynamics and hydro-thermodynamic systems and heat and mass transfer. 

Graduate's skills

• In specific applications, graduates will be able to use and further develop computer aids in design, structural and research and development activities. However, the main aim is focused on the preparation and ability to develop, elaborate on and practically use computerized procedures in solving technical problems. 

• Using expert knowledge they will be able to independently identify and creatively solve theoretical or practical problem in the field, independently solve complex problems using the selected theories, concepts and methods of the field and use some of the most advanced research approaches in the field in a manner allowing to obtain new original information.
