Parts and Mechanisms of Machines

The graduate of the study programme "Parts and Mechanisms of Machines" will acquire the necessary knowledge of professional subjects such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermomechanics, design II - parts of machines, elasticity and strength, design methodology, CAD systems, simultaneous design and optimization, finite element method, bionics and innovation of technical systems, etc. in the engineering degree of professional studies,
In connection with this base, the graduate in the third stage of studies will deepen his/her knowledge of applied scientific disciplines focused on design, construction, modelling and optimization of machine parts and mechanisms. The doctoral degree also focuses on research, development and innovation, as well as on the further development of methods and technologies used today in the research, development, innovation and design of machine parts and mechanisms and their prototypes. Students have the opportunity to choose from a selection of elective courses offered to further their professional focus in the area of research, aimed at developing methods, procedures and knowledge of 3D modelling and virtual model creation, simulation, optimisation and analysis using the finite element method, innovation, prototyping using rapid technologies and computational and simulation methods for structural and dynamic analysis and optimisation of machine parts and mechanisms.

The graduate of the study programme "Parts and Mechanisms of Machines" gains at the engineer level of specialised study the necessary knowledge from special subjects such mechanics of solid bodies, mechanics of liquids, thermo mechanics, constructing II - part of machines, flexibility and firmness, methodology of constructing, CAD systems, simultaneous constructing and optimisation, method of finite elements, etc. that together with other constructionally and technologically oriented subjects form a theoretical and professional base for the study within the framework of the study programme "Construction of Machines and Equipments and other similar ones.

Building on this base the graduate at the third level of the study shall extend the knowledge from applied science disciplines focused on designing and constructing of parts and mechanisms of machines. Within the framework of the doctorate level study attention is also paid to research, development and further development of methods, equipments and technologies that are currently used in research, development and construction of parts of machines and mechanisms and their prototypes. The students have the possibility based on selection from the offered optional subjects for advance profilation of their professional specialisation in research, focused on the development of methods, procedures and knowledge from 3D modeling and creation of virtual models, simulation, optimisation and analysis with the use of the method of finite elements, innovations, computer and simulation methods for structural and dynamic analysis and optimisation of the parts and mechanisms of machines.
