Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the participant should be able to
- identify mechanical requirements on components and structures
- explain the level of accuracy attached to measurements and use this to choose appropriate methods for analysis of structures
- describe the purpose and ideas of several design methodologies
- describe the details of a few selected design methodologies
- explain the limits and approximations of models used
- design structures, in particular components, using semianalytical methods as well as detailed FE-analyses
- produce design reports for use in product development.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
SE1010 Strength of materials and solid mechanics basic course, or SE1012 Strength of materials and solid mechanics basic course, or SE1020 Strength of materials and solid mechanics basic course, or SE1055 Strength of materials and solid mechanics basic course, and also SE1025 FEM for Engineering Applications. The course SE2122 Applied Solid Mechanics is strongly recommended.

Examination and completion
Grading scale
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination
- SEM1 - Seminar, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- PRO1 - Project, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Other requirements for final grade
Passed project work (PROJ, 6 university credits)
Active participation in seminars (SEM1, 3 university credits)
