END-3602 Modern Materials and Computations - 7.5 ECTS

Type of course

The course can be taken as a single subject.

Admission requirements

A relevant undergraduate Bachelor Engineering program with minimum 25 credits mathematics, 5 credits statistics, 7,5 credits physics

Recommended prerequisites: Materials selection in product design, PDE and FEM.

Application code: 9371


Course content

The course will give the students an understanding of modern materials and material structures, especially the sandwich structures, and applications of such. Analytical calculations of sandwich structures and numerical computations using the finite element method on different structures, systems and components are also important parts of the course.

In detail, the students will:

- learn about different types of modern materials and structures and their properties.

- design sandwich constructions; including calculate deflections, stiffness and strength, stresses and strains of a sandwich construction.

- analyze and implement inhomogenous material structures with special focus on periodic structures and perform numerical solutions for such structures.

- use the finite element program Ansys to analyze some engineering problems.

- calculate and compare analytical and numerical solutions, by using the finite element program Ansys, for different problems of interest.


Recommended prerequisites

END-3608 Materials Selection in Product Design, END-3801 PDE and the Finite Element Method
