Aim: The primary objective of the course is to make the student familiar with the most important aspects regarding structural analysis and design of weight-critical structures. Focus will be on structures made of aluminium and composite materials, for example using glass-, carbon- or kevlar fibres.
|
Contents: The course content is distributed equally between aspects regarding practical design and methods for theoretical analysis.
General principles in design of lightweight structures. Case studies for illustration of applications in ship-, aviation-, train- and automotive industry. Overview of available materials, their mechanical properties and price. Introduction to codes and classification rules for use of advanced materials. Design of details for good assembly and transfer of loads between structural components. Inserts. Experimental determination of mechanical properties of materials and components.
The part on theoretical analysis covers anisotropic laminates, beams, plates and sandwich structures. Both analytical and numerical solution methods are covered for static as well as dynamic loads. The considered collapse mechanicsms are global and local buckling, yield/fracure and fatigue. Introduction to structural optimi
