Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module:
- Understand fundamental properties of structures and materials
in engineering with emphasis on their structural response.
- Understand fundamental theories and methods for analysis of
structural material behaviour, including elasticity and
plasticity.
- Understand the difference between linear and non-linear
structural behaviour in relation to large displacements and
plasticity.
- Understand fundamental continuum mechanics theories for solids,
plates and beams.
- Have a basic knowledge and understanding of experimental work
related to calibration of material models.
Skills
Students who complete the module:
- Use correct terminology regarding the behaviour and modelling
of structures and materials.
- Be able to set up the static, kinematic and constitutive
relations for solving a structural problem.
- Be able to apply the principle of virtual work in solving
structural problems.
- Be able to apply elastic and standard plastic material models
for simulating structural material behaviour.
- Be able to understand different types of non-linear structural
behaviour.
- Be able to understand the limitations in different structural
models.
Competences
Students who complete the module:
- Be able to analyse the behaviour of structures and
materials.
- Be able to select and apply appropriate material models for the
analysis of structural behaviour under different load
conditions.
