Exam of Continuum Mechanics.
Teaching Methods
Lectures; problems; lab experiments
Further information
This course is fully available on the Moodle platform.
Type of Assessment
The exam includes a joint written and oral test to be carried out in the same session; in particular:
a) carrying out a written assignment in a maximum time of 40 minutes;
b) in the case of a sufficient written test, an oral test on the same day as the written test and consisting of two questions on the course programme.
The exam takes place in person.
