Learning outcomes
The following course introduce to students the advance tasks of solid mechanics with accent to textile structures. The course brings to student the notation of contact mechanics and experimental mechanics. The ascent is done on textile engineering tasks. The student gets broad view on various tasks in mechanics, as Hertz contact mechanics, buckling of fibres and others. The end of the course is focused on trendy applications in mechanics.
Advance knowledge of mechanics with high ascent on experimental approaches.
Prerequisites
Bachelor knowledge of mathematics for engineering science.
