Important! The oral exam will be held on Friday June 11th 2010. Log into StudentWeb to find time and place.

Mandatory assignments may be found in the reception on the 7th floor. Good luck on your exams!

During the examination the cadidates will draw one of the four mandatory assignments randomly. The cadidate will present that assignment using a computer and a projector. The presentation should last 10-15 minutes. Afterwards, the candidate will be questioned on the assignment. Each student will be heard 20-25 minutes.

Mandatory assignments will be returned next week, on wednesday. If you do not receive a mail message that you have failed one or more assignments by end of friday 20th of may, you may assume you have passed your mandatory assignments.

Examination will be held 11th of June from 0815. Candidates will be heard in alphabetic order, starting with A. More information on scheduling will follow when the final number of candidates is determined.

I have received very few assignments. Tomorrows lecture and group session I will be available for questions on the mandatory assignments. Tomorrow we will decide if tuesday is used for mandatory assignments or the lecture in plasticity.

From tuesday next week, and the following two last lectures, the group sessions will start at 09.30, and last until 12.45 to give you all a reasonable oppurtunity to consult me on the mandatory assignments.

All mandatory assignments should be delivered electronically to my mail account by friday 14.05

I have received mail from several students, who are not able to attend a lecture tomorrow (friday 30.04). Noone have objected to friday next week, so the lecture will be held at that date (07.05)

Tomorrows lecture must unfortunately be postponed. I will appear at Blindern on Friday 10.15-15.00, and if students are able, I will conduct the lecture at that time. Otherwise friday next week will be used instead for the extra lecture. If anyone has difficulty attending at either dates, please send me a mail at Knut.Vedeld@dnv.com

Regarding mandatory assignment 1 and 2 - For mandatory assignment 1, it is no longer required to perform a higher order patch test for the PLANE42 element. For mandatory assignment 2, stress and strain comparisons should be made between the BEAM188 element and the shell elements. Only displacements may be checked using the BEAM44 element.

Dagens undervisning må dessverre avlyses grunnet sykdom. Timen vil tas igjen senere (men ikke neste uke, da det er påskeferie).

Morgendagens gruppetime må dessverre utsettes. Tidspunkt for denne gruppetimen settes på forelesningen. Forelesning klokka 13.00 går som planlagt.

It has been decided that the exam in MEK4560 will be held as an oral exam. Time and date will follow.

On friday 26th, the group session will take place from 10.15-12.00 and the lecture will take place from 13.15-14.00. Exercise 4.1 will be done on the blackboard.

Today's group session is related to lecture 4 and will be given next week, after we complete lecture 4 today.

Due to some issues with the website for this course, the lecture plan has not been added yet. There will be minor changes to the lectures compared to last year, but until we get the website fixed, please find necessary lecture notes and course material from last year's webpage.

It has now been concluded that all lectures will be held from 13.00 to 15.00 on tuesdays. Note however the exception that the lecture and group session on tuesday 23rd of February will be moved to friday 26th. This will be included in the lecture plan.

Hello students, and welcome to the course. As per student request, we have proposed to conduct the lectures at tuesdays from 13-15. If anyone has a problem with this schedule, please mail me at knut.vedeld@dnv.com. The first tuesday lecture will be held February 2nd, unless anyone objects.
