limit, loading-unloading phenomena, hardening and subsequent yield, flow rule for plastic
flow, as well as evolution equations for characterising hardening, etc.

4. To introduce dynamic analysis of distributed parameter systems.
1. To equip with the Finite Element Analysis fundamentals
2. To introduce basic aspects of FE technology, including domain discretization, polynomial

the resulting algebraic systems.
3. To introduce topics - coordinate transformations, condensation techniques, substructuring.
1. To impart the need for stability concepts
2. To provide a strong background in buckling phenomenon, buckling in columns, beam
columns, frames, plates and shells

analytical, approximate and numerical methods
5. To perform stability analysis of simple framed structures.
