Before enrolling, the student must:
• have passed the course Strength of Materials I (4PP, 4PP-A),
• understand the basics of mechanics and strength of materials (equilibrium of systems, internal forces in beams, stress, strain, fundamental stress states, basics of material fatigue),
• know basic engineering materials and their mechanical properties,
• be able to produce and read technical drawings according to ČSN/ISO,
• handle common engineering calculations (units, conversions, reading tables, diagrams, and standards).

The course is completed by an examination following successful completion of coursework.

The coursework (credit) confirms that the student participated actively during tutorials and was able to solve assigned tasks correctly and independently. A minimum of 50 points out of 100 must be earned through two in-semester tests. Points earned during the semester are not carried into the exam.

The examination verifies comprehensive understanding of the subject and the ability to apply the acquired knowledge independently and creatively. The exam consists of a written and an optional oral part.
– The written exam (90 minutes, on-site) is mandatory for all students and evaluated with 0–100 points; at least 50 points are required to pass.
– The oral exam is optional and available only to students scoring 80–89 points who wish to improve their grade from B to A.
– Students who achieve 90–100 points on the written exam automatically receive grade A without an oral exam.

Final evaluation follows the ECTS grading scale according to the BUT Study and Examination Rules.

The aim of the course is to provide students with the fundamentals of strength and design analysis of machine elements required for independent design and assessment of basic machine assemblies. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between loading, material, geometry, and reliability, on failure prevention, and on the application of standards and engineering calculation procedures.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- explain mechanisms and causes of failure of basic machine elements under static and fatigue loading, including the influence of material, surface condition, friction, and lubrication,
- design and verify basic machine elements – joints, mechanical springs, bearings and seals,
- select an appropriate type of element, material, and mounting method with respect to function, service life, safety, manufacturability, and maintenance,
- integrate designed elements into simple mechanical assemblies and verify their performance through calculation.
