| Educational objectives (expertise) | Students will be able to determine the nonlinear structural behaviour of marine structures. The knowledge of the strength reserve of structural systems is very important to ensure a save and economic design. The physics of different nonlinearities in structural mechanics will be explained. Kinematic nonlinear effects, material nonlinear effects and contact problems will be considered separately. The Finite Element Method (FEM) will be introduced to solve mathematical models of nonlinear physical problems in engineering analysis and maritime structural design. The main goal is to provide a basic knowledge of the FEM, that students are able to perform nonlinear structural analyses and to obtain a critical evaluation of the numerical results. The FEM is an essential numerical method for linear and nonlinear structural analyses and for many other engineering applications. |
