SE2125 Solid Mechanics Modelling for Design 9.0 credits

Course offerings are missing for current or upcoming semesters.
Headings with content from the Course syllabus SE2125 (Autumn 2007–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course will give the student knowledge of the behaviour and reliability of structures regarding strength and other function limiting phenomena. After the course the student should be able to contribute directly in industrial development work.

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

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • PRO1 - Project, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
  • SEM1 - Seminar, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, 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.

Other requirements for final grade

Passed project work (PROJ, 6 university credits)
Active participation in seminars (SEM1, 3 university credits)

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

No information inserted

Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
