| Educational objectives (expertise) | Students know the fundamentals of different methods to analyse marine structures and to judge upon its structural behaviour. They apply the shear force and the warping torsion theory to 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 apply the Finite Element Method (FEM) as a feasible tool to analyse various structural systems. Different element types and its applicability are investigated. The students perform nonlinear Finite Element Analyses (FEA) to develop a profound knowledge of appropriate solution methods. In frame of this course different solution methods implemented commonly in finite element software packages are applied. Finally, the students have a more comprehensive understanding to perform structural analyses of complex systems. |
