Educational objectives (expertise) |
Students will be able to determine the strength of marine structures. The strength assessment is a basic ingredient for a save and economic design of structural systems. In the beginning of the module the fundamentals of engineering mechanics to describe boundary value problems by differential equations in context of maritime applications will be given. Furthermore, the fundamentals of the Finite Element Method (FEM) will be introduced to solve mathematical models of physical problems in engineering analysis and maritime structural design. The main goal is to provide a basic knowledge of the FEM and the corresponding background, that students are able to perform linear structural analyses and to obtain a critical evaluation of the numerical results. The FEM is an essential numerical method for structural analyses and for many other engineering applications. |
