After successful completion of the course, students are able to theoretically describe problems that can be assigned to mechanical engineering by means of meaningful model simplifications; to define the occurring model parameters based on literature research, self-conducted material tests or other, comprehensible considerations; to solve the resulting systems of equations analytically and/or numerically; and to interpret the results obtained in the context of the problem.
See course content.
Written report, ongoing evaluation in the course of supervision, discussion at submission of report.
Not necessary
It is recommended to successfully complete the lecture Strength of Materials (202.664) and the exercise of the same name (202.665), the VU Engineering Mechanics (202.666) and the VU Finite Element Methods (202.653) before starting this project work.
