Learning outcomes

After the course the participants should be able to

  • analyse mechanical systems considering static and dynamic loads,
  • at cyclic loading, perform fatigue analyses regarding both life assessments and damage tolerance,
  • consider multiaxial fatigue loading from an engineering point of view,
  • determine the behaviour of discrete dynamical systems,
  • describe modal analyses of discrete dynamical systems,
  • analyse time dependent materials and elastomers
  • design constructions based on different aspects of solid mechanics.

Course main content

Static loading: linear fracture mechanics; limit loads; FAD; instability; plasticity; thermal loading. Dynamic loading; periodic loading; transients. Fatigue: standard analysis including multiaxial effects; cumulative damage theory; fracture mechanics. Material behaviour: (polymers and high temperature applications); elastomers. Choice of material. Design based on solid mechanics.
