Educational objectives (expertise) Students perform strength assessment for marine structures, which is a basic ingredient for a save and economic design. Fundamentals of engineering mechanics to describe boundary value problems by differential equations in context of maritime applications are known. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is applied to solve mathematical models of physical problems in engineering analysis and maritime structural design. Students have basic knowledge of the FEM and the corresponding background. They perform linear structural analyses and obtain a critical evaluation of the numerical results. The FEM is an essential numerical method for structural analyses and for many other engineering applications.
