  • Understand elementary and advanced quantification tools, and their application to validation between model and experiment data.
  • Have a basic knowledge and understanding of experimental work, including test planning, test conduction, different types of test equipment, modelling of uncertainties and comparison of model and test results using statistical methods.

Færdigheder

Students who complete the module:

  • Use the correct terminology for structural analysis and design.
  • Be able to apply analytical solution methods based on continuum mechanics for selected static problems.
  • Be able to develop and implement a Finite Element software code for analysis of a selected simple structure subject to static loading.
  • Be able to use a commercial Finite Element code for analysing a given static structural problem.
  • Be able to plan and set up a test for determining basic material properties.
  • Be able to plan and set up a test for finding the strength and stiffness of a given structure.
  • Be able to perform a probabilistic study of the experimental data in order to quantify the influence of individual parameters.
  • Be able to scrutinize a model (analytical or numerical) for comparison with an appropriate experimental study.
  • Be able to perform a probabilistic study of the model in order to quantify the level of confidence.
  • Be able to count for the level of coherence between test results and model predictions.
