| Educational objectives (expertise) | Students will understand the fundamentals of different methods to analyse marine structures and to judge upon its structural behaviour. The theory of shear force application and the warping torsion theory will be introduces especially for thin-walled closed frame structures. The knowledge of the fundamentals is very important to perform structural analyses of marine structures efficiently. It is also the basis to improve structural systems or to develop new design variants. The students will apply the Finite Element Method (FEM) as a feasible tool to analyse various structural systems. Different element types will be introduced and its applicability will be investigated. To perform nonlinear Finite Element Analyses (FEA) successfully the knowledge of appropriate solution methods is very imported. In frame of this course different solution methods implemented commonly in finite element software packages will be presented. Finally, the students will develop a more comprehensive understanding to perform structural analyses of complex systems. |
