Acquiring of advanced skills and knowledge of design, manufacturing, and operation of heavy machinery structures.

Making student qualified for the advanced individual work on the design, manufacturing, and monitoring of heavy machinery structures.

Structural forms of heavy machinery structures. Specific features of design of thin-walled structural members. Chosen problems of torsion and elastic stability of thin-walled structures of heavy mobile machinery. Moving load action. Flexible structure vibrations damping. Design and calculation proof of specific heavy machinery structure members (connection plates, lug plates, sag and tie rods, stiffeners, pinned connections, various forms of articulated joints etc.). Analysis of the stress/strain state by using software packages. Basics of optimization in structure members design. Technological adequacy, erection, usage and monitoring of steel structures. Recovery of structures damaged by fatigue.

Auditory lectures, theoretical part of the subject, accompanied with practice examples. Auditory, computational, laboratory, and computer aided practice classes. Students extend theoretical knowledge with practical examples in the auditory classes. Heavy machinery thin-walled structures are calculated in the computational classes. The gained theoretical knowledge is applied using the disposable equipment in laboratory classes. Computer aided classes include the application of commercial software for stress/strain state analysis. Individual student’s research activities. Individual consultations.
