After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the fundamentals of plane structures and to apply methods based on these fundamentals to the solution of practically relavent problems.
The lecture is concerned with modelling, analysis and simulation of plane structures (discs and plates). The incorparation of the effect of temperature loadings and of applied electric fields is discussed. Besides discs and plates shallow shells are considered in the lecture and large deformations are accounted for. The solution of the governing equations with analytical and numerical methods is treated in detail.
