Aim: To give the student the necessary background for performing theoretical strength analysis of technically important plate and shell structures. On this background the student shall be able to design conventional steel structures as well as lightweight structures made of aluminium or composites, for example by use of glass-, carbon- or kevlar fibres.
To give the student experience in working with open problem formulations with numerous possible solutions, in order to trained in taking active part in a rational decision process.
To train the ability to cooperation and oral and written communication.
Creativity is given credit in project work. |
Contents: Methods for analysis of strength (yield / fracture), stability and vibrations of various types of plate structures in metal or composites. The course treats conventional materials like steel and aluminium as well as advanced anisotropic materials like glass- and carbon fibres.
The course content is equally distributed between theoretical methods for analysis and the practical application of these methods in design.
General principles for design of lightweight structures. Case studies for illustration of the application of thin-walled structures in ship-, aviation-, train- and automotive industry.
Overview over available construction materials, their mechanical properties and price.
Scientific papers are used in the teaching and project work.
Project work is based on problems formulated together with industry or research institutions.
Laboratory exercises and numerical simulations are used to illustrate the theory. For the laboratory exercises, the student takes part in planning, set up and execution. |
