Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
When teaching engineering it is important to understand and be able to explain the workin conditions of a product. For all products there are requirements on appropriate deformation and that it must not fail during usage. In this course the student will learn the basics of mechanical behaviour of materials and structures and how this knowledge can be used for the design of basic products and components with respect to stiffness and strength. With kowledge in solid mechanics the student can explain how to answer questions like "Will it hold?" and "Are the deformations to large?".
After finalising the course the student will be able to
- understand basic concepts in solid mechanics such as deformation, bending, torsion, stress, tension/compression, strain
- explain basic concepts in solid mechanics in a simple way
- identify examples in every day reality
- solve simple relevant problems

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination
- INL1 - Assignment, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
