Læringsmål
Viden
Knowledge

structural response, i.e. influence of large displacements,
plasticity or other non-linear material behavior and dynamic
effects.
- Should have knowledge about advanced structural analysis and
its applications in engineering.
- Should have knowledge about non-linear behavior of thin-walled
structures i.e. buckling and postbuckling behavior and influence of
geometric imperfections.
- Should have knowledge of modelling joints in structures linear
as well as non-linear.
- Should have knowledge about non-linear Finite Element analysis
of thin-walled structures.
Færdigheder
Skills
- Should be able to formulate a mechanical/mathematical model for
structures behaving non-linearly.
- Should be able to formulate geometrically non-linear models for
thin-walled structures involving buckling, postbuckling and
imperfection sensitivity.
- Should be able to estimate the stability load for simplified
thin-walled structures based on analytical models.
- Should be able to formulate mechanical/mathematical models for
joints in structures e.g. flexible joints in frame structures.
- Should have sufficient background to choose an appropriate
numerical model i.e. type of element and type of non-linear
solution algorithm.
- Should be able to analyze a structure/structural component by a
non-linear Finite Element code.

Element calculations by analytical models or other simplified
models.
