For a correct follow-up of this subject, the students must have solid knowledge of vector calculus and master the concept of static equilibrium. In addition, they must have the ability to analyse tensions and deformations in elementary structures. They should also be familiar with the mechanical properties of structural materials such as steel. It is therefore highly recommended that the students have completed and passed the following subjects of the curriculum: Physics I, Materials Science and Technology, Resistance of materials and Elasticity and Advanced strength of materials.
The knowledge acquired in the structural analysis part of this subject can be useful to the student in the follow-up of subjects such as Machine design (second term of the fourth year) or Theory of the ship and shipbuilding (first term of the fifth year). Also, the knowledge acquired in the construction part will be complemented by the subject of Basics of topography, which is only taught to students of Marine Corps.
