CAE/FEM (Computer Aided Engineering/Finite Element Method)Laajuus (5 cr)

Objective

After a completed study unit the student
- has a grasp of the theoretical basis of the finite element method in structural mechanics, and
- can use finite element analysis software in the analysis of structures.

Content

- line structures:  frame structures, trusses, steel beam structures
- surface structures: thin sheet metal structures, pressure vessels, shell constructions
- solid structures: 3D solid pieces, assemblies
- vibration mechanics, buckling, thermal stresses, and other special issues in structural mechanics.
