Factors that influence service life of structures. Role of stress analysis in structural design in engineering. Range of validity of common engineering solutions based on simplified mathematical models and on simplified material behaviour. Experimental methods of deformation and stress analysis (elementary theory, techniques): photoelasticity; mechanical, optical and electrical transducers; moire; brittle coatings; physical models. Tensometric and photoelastic models. Theory and design of typical transducers. Typical measuring systems: principles, design. Principles of design of experiments: system analysis, transfer functions, noise/signal ratio. Evaluation of experimental results and their application in structural design. Examples of engineering applications. Testing of structures. Static and dynamic response of engineering structures.

Titled Introduction to Experimental Stength Analysis.
A study of the factors that influence the service life of structures with particular attention paid to the role of stress analysis. Range of validity of common engineering solutions based on analytical idealizations. Elementary methods of deformation and stress analysis: elementary photoelasticity; mechanical, optical and electrical strain gauges; moiré; brittle coatings; mechanical and mathematical models (Analog methods). Tensometric and photoelastic models. Typical transducers. Principles of
