Department profile
The Department educates experts in the field of Applied Mechanics with a focus on the field of applied structural mechanics. The main emphasis is placed on theoretical analysis, development and creation of computational models of building structures, their solution by modern computational methods and experimental analysis of these structures in the application of progressive diagnostic methods. At the same time, it participates in the education of professionals in other study programmes by teaching the theoretical foundations of civil and transport engineering structures and the necessary mathematical basis for each successfully completed graduate usable in practice. The Department provides teaching of theoretical subjects for all study programmes and at all levels of study at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Žilina.The Department educates experts in the field of Applied Mechanics with a focus on the field of applied structural mechanics.

The quality theoretical basis provides excellent prerequisites for further studies of our students, as well as for the application of graduates of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Žilina in research and practice.
Publication activity of the department staff presents the results of their theoretical and experimental research in the field of static and especially dynamic problems related to building structures, their load-bearing elements and continuum, in the field of applied mathematics, differential equations, commutative algebra and geometry.The cooperation of the department with practice represents solutions of unique and specific development tasks and problems of the transport and construction sectors as one of the few research and professional workplaces in Slovakia.
