Good comprehension for the design of analytical solutions for problems in the field of the theory of slabs and plates, creation of a foundation for numerical simulations of such structures by means of the Finite Element Method. Conversion of the analytical solutions to design formulas.
- Plane stress, plane strain: basic equations of the linear theory in cartesian and polar coordinates, examples, basics of linear fracture mechanics, thermal and dynamic loads, elasto-platic strains; - Plate: basic equations of the linear theory for thin plates (Krichhoff plate) in cartesian coordinates, examples, basic equations of the geometrically nonlinear Kirchhoff plate under limitation to moderate rotations, loss of stability of the equilibrium, basic equations of the theory of the linear thick plate (Reißner plate); - Design assumptions.
