| Educational objectives (expertise) | Students 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. Students know the physics of different nonlinearities in structural mechanics. Kinematic nonlinear effects, material nonlinear effects and contact problems are considered separately. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is applied by the students to solve mathematical models of nonlinear physical problems in engineering practice. They perform nonlinear structural analyses of marine structures and obtain a critical evaluation of the numerical results. The FEM is an essential approach for linear and nonlinear structural analyses and for many other engineering applications. |
