Course contents:
Depending on the level, students can intensify their knowledge in
grammar and vocabulary. The first two levels (English for Advanced 1 and
2) deal with the repetition of the grammar. The examples reflect typical
situations in which both technical and general language are used; other
examples are e.g. application letters, the description of products and
services, business phone calls, communication processes in formal and
informal meetings, presentations, etc.
In Business English, the main focus is on spoken language and work in
small groups. At the beginning of the semester, each group founds its own
company, which is dynamically developed during the course of the
semester.
In Technical English, the main focus is on acquiring and using a basic
technical vocabulary and typical expressions of technical communication.

Course contents:
The lecture is divided into two parts A and B. Part A is a theoretical
introduction into General Numerical Mechanics and takes 2/3 of the total
time. In Part B, the students have to independently write a report on the
numerical calculation of an Engineering Mechanics problem using the
finite element method (case study).
Part A:
- Differential equations of physical processes, energy principles, workenergy equation, principle of virtual displacements
- Finite Element Method (FEM), basic principle, application field and
limitations
- Vectors and matrices
- The principle of FEM in selected examples, bar elements, shape
functions and discretisation into finite elements, beam elements
- FEM in the continuum mechanics, linear plane elements
- Application of plane elements, post-processing, convergence of results
- Finite element modelling and hints, 1D, 2D and 3D finite elements,
modelling instructions, interpretation of results, questions for
understanding
Part B:
- Case studies (statics): for example, rectangular bars with variable crosssection under traction and temperature loading, trusses with different
boundary conditions, etc.
- Variants investigation:
- Influence of the element choice on the FE-results,
- Influence of material propeties on the FE-results,
- Influence of the discretization on the FE-results.
- Case studies (dynamics): Dynamic behavior of a spring-mass-Schwinger
Variants investigation.
