General description O curso ofrece un tratamento a fondo da mecánica de medios continuos para líquidos e sólidos. Móstranse as diferenzas no comportamento mecánico da materia no límite continuo mediante a aplicación das leis de Newton e do movemento dos materiais sólidos (elasticidad) e o comportamento fluído.

Learning aims
Learning outcomes Study programme competences
The course provides a thorough treatment of the mechanics of continuous media for fluids and solids. The aim is to present the different mechanical behavior of matter in the continuous limit. Newton's laws of motion in media with strong performance (elasticity) and / or fluid is applied. AR5

To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan:

            The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this subject:

              - They will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support

              - It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.

             - If it is necessary to make them on paper:

                  - Plastics shall not be used

                 - Double-sided printing shall be carried out.

                 - Recycled paper will be used.

                 - Printing of drafts shall be avoided.

  - A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made.

  - It will work to identify and change gender biases and attitudes, and influence the environment to change them and promote values of respect and equality.

  - Situations of discrimination should be identified and actions and measures proposed to correct them.
